Afaict, FFmpeg warns loudly when it encounters corrupted frames.
If a frame is missing and this can be detected (there are intra-only codecs in
raw containers where I believe this is not easily possible), FFmpeg also outputs
a warning, often more than one warning for a missing frame.

Do you have an example where you see no warnings although you know frames are
corrupted / missing?
