Opening curly bracket ("{") in path breaks decoder for .png files with non-PNG (like BMP or JPG) contents

[Sun_Serega]

Works with any .png file, just made one in Paint:

Well, ffprobe shows the error, but the main problem for me is that this fails:

I said

Works with any .png file, just made one in Paint:

The only thing needed to reproduce the issue is the "{" in the input path.

[Sun_Serega]

sample png file

[Sun_Serega]

Well, I made another PNG file (tested with it - still reproduces) and attached it anyway. Does this actually help?

[Elon Musk]

Also file is not png but bmp.

[Sun_Serega]

Replying to Elon Musk:

Also file is not png but bmp.

Prob because of the Paint...
Interestingly enough, if I use ffmpeg to convert this BMP with a .png extension to an actual PNG - the problem stops reproducing.

Also checked the original file I had the issue with - and it is actually JPG with a .png extension.

So the problem is with .png files which aren't actually PNG.

[Balling]

ffmpeg to convert this BMP with a .png extension to an actual PNG - the problem stops reproducing.

That is because ffmpeg can see it is bmp, no problem.
