yes, it's here:
http://jernej.libreelec.tv/videos/h264/Star%20Wars%20Episode%20VII%20-%20The%20Force%20Awakens%20-%20Teaser%20Trailer%202.mp4

It needs also prediction weight tables (your early patch for that should work 
ok) and scaling list (code I sent you in one of the previous comments should 
work).

For me, if this sample worked without issue, every other non-interlaced sample 
worked too.

I'll take a look, thanks.
