Hi,
Any news? I'd like to have this for 3.x

If I understand correctly, in the case the stream size is unknown, i_stream_size is 0.
The behavior did not change from the original code, since a do/while is being used.

Indeed, in the case the stream is empty, the seek + probing is useless. Is that really an issue? Do we often have empty streams?
In the case of the streams of unknown size however, what should be the behavior of the ProbeStart/ProbeEnd functions?
Seeking to 0 in ProbeStart is not a problem in my opinion, because we want to know the start of the stream.
In probe end however, the code will look at the end of the first chunk (i_pos == 0), and maybe we should return VLC_EGENERIC instead?

I don't understand your statement about "p_sys->i_packet_size * i_probe_count" however.
ProbeStart : i_probe_count starts at 0, so i_stream_size can't be < 0 ProbeEnd : i_stream_size < p_sys->i_packet_size * i_probe_count means i_pos starts at 0, and the chunk will go to the end of the stream,  so there's no problem either

If the stream size is unknown or is < p_sys->i_packet_size * i_probe_count that does useless probing + seeks to 0
