Reproducible in the demo app?

Yes

Reproduction steps

1. Obtain an MP4 file with a uuid atom positioned between ftyp and moov (e.g., a video with C2PA Content Credentials metadata)
2. Play the file using ProgressiveMediaSource with default extractors
3. Observe playback failure

Expected result

Video plays successfully. The uuid atom is a valid extension per ISO 14496-12 and should be skipped by the sniffer.

Actual result

Sniffer fails to identify the file as fragmented MP4. ExoPlayer reports 0 tracks and throws:

ParserException: Loading finished before preparation is complete. {contentIsMalformed=true, dataType=1}

The file structure is:
ftyp @ 0, size=36
uuid @ 36, size=16776 <-- C2PA manifest (valid per ISO 14496-12)
moov @ 16812, size=1213
moof @ 18025, size=4708
mdat @ 22733, size=469611

Note: FragmentedMp4Extractor CAN parse this file correctly when forced directly (bypassing sniffing). The bug is only in the sniffing phase.

Media

Will email sample video to android-media-github@google.com.

Thanks for reporting, I've sent a change for internal review that increases the sniff limit when encountering a uuid box - this makes the provided video playable with the ExoPlayer demo app on the tip of the main branch. The change will be linked here when it's submitted.
