ffprobe: incorrect determination of the number of reference frames

[alex2016]

Hi!

ffprobe incorrect determinates of the number of reference frames. ffprobe for all video returns refs=1, which does not coincide with the values returned by MediaInfo.
The attached txt file contains information returned by ffprobe and MediaInfo.

Does this really have 3 ref frames?
