 *   FMP4: Fix `saiz` and `senc` sample count checks, resolving a "length
     mismatch" `ParserException` when playing certain protected FMP4 streams
     ([#7592](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7592)).
+*   FLV: Ignore SCRIPTDATA segments with invalid name types, rather than failing
+    playback ([#7675](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7675)).
 *   IMA extension: Upgrade to IMA SDK 3.19.4, bringing in a fix for setting the
     media load timeout
     ([#7170](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7170)).
