[FFmpeg-user] ffprobe error return

[Yazhou (William) He]

Dear FFmpeg Dev,

Happy New Year and hope you had a good holiday!

I had a problem running ffprobe trying to ingest some metadata. It returns
error below

ffprobe
> -i E:\Ballymun_Project\test\lab\aaa1234\062fd51b-4d9e-4624-a111-070e5d105ea2\objects\DJI_0204.MP4
> -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type -of
> default=noprint_wrallers=1:nokey=1
> ffprobe
> -i E:\Ballymun_Project\test\lab\aaa1234\062fd51b-4d9e-4624-a111-070e5d105ea2\objects\DJI_0204.MP4
> -v error -select_streams v:0 -show-entries stream=pix_fmt -of
> default=noprint_wrallers=1:nokey=1
> ffprobe
> -i E:\Ballymun_Project\test\lab\aaa1234\062fd51b-4d9e-4624-a111-070e5d105ea2\objects\DJI_0204.MP4
> -v error -select_streams a -show_entries stream=codec_name -of
> default=noprint_wrallers=1:nokey=1

all of 3 return on Windows OS:

> [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 000002b179130100] Invalid sample size -1
> [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 000002b179130100] error reading header
> E:\Ballymun_Project\test\lab\aaa1234\062fd51b-4d9e-4624-a111-070e5d105ea2\objects\DJI_0204.MP4:
> Invalid data found when processing input

The same file returns different error msg on Mac OS:

> [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x7ff11e000000] Sample size 4294967295 is too
> large

Please see the screenshot below (ffmpeg is embedded in the python script):

Besides, the problem MP4 media file can be played via VLC.

Please advise anything on this, thanks!

Best,
