This issue started after upgrading FFmpeg from 6.0 to 7.0.1. Updating to 7.1 also did not resolve the issue.

Hi Rahul,

Are you able to provide steps and/or bitstreams which reproduce this issue using FFmpeg alone and not in Niagara Workbench?  There are a number of reasons using FFmpeg 7.0.1 could crash this software which are not due to bugs in FFmpeg.  Most notably, does the software actually support FFmpeg 7?  This is a major version bump and so FFmpeg 7 is not
ABI- or API-compatible with FFmpeg 6.

All the best,
Frank
