Dear all,

I just realized that MPEG2 TS files can't be loaded. The reason is that
vrw_open() returns -1 when it processes an mpeg2 ts file. Therefore, other
fileformats' open functions (e.g. mp2t_open() are not called).

I assume that vwr_open() should return 0 for a file it does not recognize.
Trivial patch is attached.

Best regards,

   Martin
