[vlc-devel] Issue with mp4 module ?

Since a few days, vlc-android can't play "[NoobSubs] Dragon Ball Z Movie 14
- Battle of Gods 'Director's Cut' (1080p Blu-ray 8bit AAC).mp4" (4Go, so
too big to upload, but should be easy to find).

I looked at the logs, and mp4 module fails to read the file : "mp4 demux:
MP4 plugin discarded (not a valid initialization chunk)"
I tried to reproduce it on win32, but it  seems to works with both my build
and the lates NB, it only happens on android.

I located the place where mp4 module is discarded, and discovered that
skipping a dash related check in libmp4.c seems to fix the issue (see
attach patch).

I don't think it's a correct fix, but at least it may help someone to find
what's wrong :)
