Alright, fixed in v2.

This doesn’t happen now since the code doesn't error out when read key failed.

I guess for key type SAMPLE_AES, audio track can be in clear, while the video track can be
partially encrypted.

There is a check at line 1408 which should be ret >= 0, but > 0 doesn’t happen in real.

1408     if (ret == 0 && !is_http && seg->url_offset) {
