OC is not interfacing directly with FFmpeg but relies on this open source library https://github.com/SuRGeoNix/Flyleaf for everything related to video playback. I opened some incomplete torrent video files, seeked around and it did freeze OC also. I asked gpt5 to look at it but I am not familiar at all with that codebase so patching anything without understanding the entire code wouldn't be wise. That is a job for Flyleaf project maintainer

The library has many while (...) Thread.Sleep(5); even on UI thread. AI keeps finding race conditions on each pass and when I pause debugger there are 6 flyleaf threads just waiting for each other. I really don't know what to make of this...
