Video handling avoids the FFmpeg parser path.
FenSight uses LibVLC for video playback and thumbnail generation. It does not bundle or call FFmpeg for this path, which keeps it separate from FFmpeg MOV/MP4 parser advisories.

- LibVLC handles playback and video thumbnail generation.
- FenSight processes user-selected local files rather than auto-parsing untrusted network streams.
- VLC dependency updates are monitored so security patches can be adopted.
- If video security behavior changes, release notes and documentation should be updated together.
