@c man begin DESCRIPTION
14
FFplay is a very simple and portable media player using the FFmpeg
15
libraries and the SDL library. It is mostly used as a testbed for the
24
ffplay [options] @file{input_file}
30
@include fftools-common-opts.texi
36
Force displayed width.
38
Force displayed height.
40
Set frame size (WxH or abbreviation), needed for videos which don't
41
contain a header with the frame size like raw YUV.
47
Seek to a given position in seconds.
48
@item -t @var{duration}
49
play <duration> seconds of audio/video
53
Disable graphical display.
56
@item -window_title @var{title}
57
Set window title (default is the input filename).
58
@item -loop @var{number}
59
Loops movie playback <number> times. 0 means forever.
62
@section Advanced options
64
@item -pix_fmt @var{format}
67
Show the stream duration, the codec parameters, the current position in
68
the stream and the audio/video synchronisation drift.
70
Print specific debug info.
74
Visualize motion vectors.
76
Non-spec-compliant optimizations.
80
Force RTP/TCP protocol usage instead of RTP/UDP. It is only meaningful
81
if you are streaming with the RTSP protocol.
82
@item -sync @var{type}
83
Set the master clock to audio (@code{type=audio}), video
84
(@code{type=video}) or external (@code{type=ext}). Default is audio. The
85
master clock is used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media
86
players use audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high
87
quality broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly
88
used for debugging purposes.
89
@item -threads @var{count}
91
@item -ast @var{audio_stream_number}
92
Select the desired audio stream number, counting from 0. The number
93
refers to the list of all the input audio streams. If it is greater
94
than the number of audio streams minus one, then the last one is
95
selected, if it is negative the audio playback is disabled.
96
@item -vst @var{video_stream_number}
97
Select the desired video stream number, counting from 0. The number
98
refers to the list of all the input video streams. If it is greater
99
than the number of video streams minus one, then the last one is
100
selected, if it is negative the video playback is disabled.
101
@item -sst @var{subtitle_stream_number}
102
Select the desired subtitle stream number, counting from 0. The number
103
refers to the list of all the input subtitle streams. If it is greater
104
than the number of subtitle streams minus one, then the last one is
105
selected, if it is negative the subtitle rendering is disabled.
108
@section While playing
127
Cycle subtitle channel.
133
Seek backward/forward 10 seconds.
136
Seek backward/forward 1 minute.
139
Seek to percentage in file corresponding to fraction of width.
