Why "This library is not recommended for production use"? #103

Could you make it more specific what you mean by "production"? Generally any shipped product or server environments? And why is it not suitable for some environments?

hey-red commented 2 years ago

This means "can have bugs, use with careful". Anyway, with latest version I have no issues with that library.

javidsho commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the response. So, do you happen to know if ffmpeg is secure for server environments?

radek-k commented 2 years ago

It is not safe to use FFMediaToolkit on server to decode user uploaded videos. It may cause segfault and FatalExecutionEngineError when processing some files. As soon as these errors are fixed, the warning will be removed.
