It allows you to control ffmpeg processes asynchronously\u2014emulating webcams from arbitrary video sources, analyzing streams for motion or noise, and extracting still images. The library depends only on async-timeout and is designed to integrate with Home Assistant's async architecture.\n\nThe package is actively maintained and carries a permissive BSD license. It has been in production use since 2016 and remains stable. The main design consideration is that function calls should be protected with asyncio.shield to ensure proper cancellation handling in async contexts.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building Home Assistant integrations or async applications that need to control ffmpeg. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. The main prerequisite is that ffmpeg itself must be installed on the system, and you should follow the asyncio.shield guidance in the documentation."},"id":"ha-ffmpeg","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ha-ffmpeg","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ha-ffmpeg.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ha-ffmpeg/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-11-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ha-ffmpeg","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A library that handling with ffmpeg for home-assistant"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":181327,"position":10128,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.2"}
