hi Sebastian,

with the current default implementation, we are iterating over and again by
more data till we find the probability greater than the minimum probability.
The minimum probability is not sufficient always for finding correct media
type( as in the reported case).

In the patch, I have extended the same philosophy, to check for maximum
probability for the given scanning range of data. when 100% probability found
in b/w, simply break and declare the valid type found. For most of the cases,
100% probability should be found with very few iterations.
