I get a "G".... Does the contents of your text file start with a "G" by
any chance? I bet it does. Culprit is the naive sniffer rule for
video/mp2t filetypes. It just checks if the first byte is 0x47. Apparently
transport streams do always beginn with 0x47, but as that's just a "G",
anything starting with that qualifies.[[BR]]
[http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/ReadMe.IntroductionToHaiku
ReadMe.IntroductionToHaiku] in the root of the repository suffers that
same issue.
You can "solve" this for the time being by removing the rule in the
Filetypes preferences.
Can anyone come up with a better sniffer rule? It looks like after that
first sync byte, there isn't much to analyze (s.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream#Packet wikipedia]), or
is there?
