Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the Envivo init segment linked in the issue and inspect the parser's handling of the unexpected EOF. The issue does not name a source file or test, and it does not decide whether this invalid segment should be rejected or tolerated; clarify that expected behavior before adding regression coverage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From this gecko bug we fail to parse the init segment from http://dash.edgesuite.net/envivio/Envivio-dash2/v4_258-Header.m4s with "unexpected EOF".

This is invalid, but stagefright appears to handle it.
