Would it be possible to amend the score for the FFmpeg demuxer plugin so that it is used by default?

Or would this cause some undesirable side effect, that I haven't found yet.

FFmpeg demuxer seems to do exactly what is wanted.

Workaround

Change the demuxer setting from "default" to "FFmpeg demuxer"

Then VLC shows the correct times for most of my TS and M2TS files. (within a few seconds of what MPC gives)

It works for MPEG2 and H.264 content.

Seeking with the keyboard also works.
