Error: ffmpeg

I am experiencing a critical problem in my project deployed on Railway (Hobby plan), related to the execution of FFmpeg. I am using the fluent-ffmpeg library in a Node.js environment to process a real-time HLS stream, and the following error is consistently being generated:

FFmpeg error: Error: ffmpeg was killed with signal SIGSEGV

at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/app/node_modules/fluent-ffmpeg/lib/processor.js:178:22)

at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:524:28)

at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:293:12)

Could you guide me if this type of process with FFmpeg is allowed or supported on Railway, especially on the Hobby plan? Is there any limitation regarding memory usage or signals that could be causing this process termination?

fluent-ffmpeg is just an API around ffmpeg which needs to be separately installed
Are you doing that ?
