- Crito 13y agoFor realtime playback locally sure. I don't think there are many/any public-facing systems backed by VLC. Presumably VLC prioritizes speed over security.
- Perseids 13y agoOh, that was the point being made. My view is that VLC essentially is a public facing system, in the same sense that my browser is a public facing system. Sure, it is not as easy to do a targeted attack against my VLC as against my mail client (or against the nginx on my server). But it is fed a lot of untrusted data. The same goes for Chrome, which also uses FFmpeg according to the article.
- bane 13y agoor plex, which i believe is ffmpeg based for real-time transcoding
