yes

        for(i=0;i<ic->nb_streams;i++) {
            st = ic->streams[i];
            if (!has_codec_parameters(st->codec))
                break;
            /* variable fps and no guess at the real fps */
            if(   tb_unreliable(st->codec)
               && duration_count[i]<20 && st->codec->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO)
                break;
            if(st->parser && st->parser->parser->split && !st->codec->extradata)
                break;
            if(st->first_dts == AV_NOPTS_VALUE)
                break;
        }
        if (i == ic->nb_streams) {
            /* NOTE: if the format has no header, then we need to read
               some packets to get most of the streams, so we cannot
               stop here */
            if (!(ic->ctx_flags & AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER)) {
                /* if we found the info for all the codecs, we can stop */
                ret = count;
                break;      <------------------------------------
            }
        }

it should leave av_find_stream_info() at the marked point
add a few printf/av_log() to find out why this is not reached
