I wrote an optimized C++ FFMPEG player as a video surveillance system, initially to watch my pets in my yard, and then kept going adding (human) face detection, and then a DL/ML training scaffold, then Live555 re-encoding, then an embedded web browser, then I added tons of comments and turned it into a learning demo project. It's on Github, I still use it to watch my pets: https://github.com/bsenftner/ffvideo
