Hi, all, Trying to dig as deeply as possible into ffprobe's probe score and how it is calculated. AVProbeData <https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/2.2/structAVProbeData.html> contains a lot of specific information about the tags and signatures ffprobe uses to identify various formats. However, I have noticed some issues that AVProbeData does not seem to address (in my novice ability to read C):
1. Even if ffprobe does not find a codec ID for a given stream, it can still attempt to identify the stream. What type of information does ffprobe use to guess the stream? 2. Secondly, does the probe score relate to the container format only? From my look at AVProbeData and the test results I've gotten, that's what it looks like: an example is a report from a Matroska file with an identified H.264 encoding (lacking an identifiable tag) achieving a score of 100, and many others. Therefore, it seems like ffprobe only returns a lower probe score if data is missing from the container format. Thanks for any thoughts or input. Best, Monique Lassere M.S.
