That's interesting. ffmpeg needs to seek to the ed of the file, because
the moov atom isn't at the beginning.

Yet in trying to do so, it requests not the end of the file, but beyond
the end:

Range: bytes=419430400-

The server can't fulfil that request ("419430400-" would deliver the
last byte).

I tried this with a file on my local server, and there, ffmpeg
successfully requested the last ~100 kB.

I haven't been able to figure out why ffmpeg is doing this.
