Description

Hi. The crash issue happened again on the corrupt videos. user has many corrupt videos recovered from the hard drive through recovery software, There are 12 instances of the frameGrabber are running at the same time.

I have check though the crash occurred when calling the setTimeMethod() org.bytedeco.javacv.FFmpegFrameGrabber.setTimestamp(J)V+11

I was thinking to use multiprocessing instead of multithreading to handle the crash issue but worried about resource usage. Any experts thought on the crash issue? Thank you.

Research direction
Analyze the crash log hs err pid4912.log and reproduce the crash by feeding corrupt video files to FFmpegFrameGrabber's setTimestamp method. Consider concurrency issues and test with multiple simultaneous grabbers.
