README for the VLC media player
===============================
VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine,
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
BSD, iOS and Android.
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats.
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has
been downloaded close to one billion times.

There are (roughly) three ways that a demux probe function can fail: - file type does not match, - file type matches but corruption is detected early, - unexpected I/O error. In the first case, the demuxer will typically not move the "virtual" file offset - mostly using vlc_stream_Peek(). But in the later two cases, the demuxer will typically have moved the file offset forward. There are no generic ways to fix it. Seeking back might fail (leading to ingored result warning). So we try to fix it in generic way before trying the next demuxer. If it fails, such as due to unrecoverable I/O error, we just skip it completely.
