HA + Frigate and Reolink WiFi cams - how to avoid ffmpeg crashes (github.com)

If you use Reolink wifi cams via the Frigate integration in homeassistant, you may be used to seeing tons of "ffmpeg has crashed unexpectedly" in your frigate logs. I have 3 older reolink wifi cams in frigate (510WA, 511WA) which most in the community seems to advise against and indeed since I've been running frigate, while they...

There was no follow up after that suggestion though.

I just checked and I have hundreds of entities, it would take a huge amount of time to see which ones to keep visible / which ones are used in automations or visualization etc. What is the harm of just leaving them exposed?
