| 17 | @c man begin DESCRIPTION |
| 18 | |
| 19 | FFplay is a very simple and portable media player using the FFmpeg |
| 20 | libraries and the SDL library. It is mostly used as a testbed for the |
| 21 | various FFmpeg APIs. |

| 32 | @item -x @var{width} |
| 33 | Force displayed width. |
| 34 | @item -y @var{height} |
| 35 | Force displayed height. |
| 36 | @item -s @var{size} |
| 37 | Set frame size (WxH or abbreviation), needed for videos which do |
| 38 | not contain a header with the frame size like raw YUV. This option |
| 39 | has been deprecated in favor of private options, try -video_size. |
| 40 | @item -an |
| 41 | Disable audio. |
| 42 | @item -vn |
| 43 | Disable video. |
| 44 | @item -ss @var{pos} |
| 45 | Seek to a given position in seconds. |
| 46 | @item -t @var{duration} |
| 47 | play <duration> seconds of audio/video |
| 48 | @item -bytes |
| 49 | Seek by bytes. |
| 50 | @item -nodisp |

| 52 | @item -f @var{fmt} |
| 53 | Force format. |
| 54 | @item -window_title @var{title} |
| 55 | Set window title (default is the input filename). |
| 56 | @item -loop @var{number} |
| 57 | Loops movie playback <number> times. 0 means forever. |
| 58 | @item -showmode @var{mode} |
| 59 | Set the show mode to use. |
| 60 | Available values for @var{mode} are: |
| 61 | @table @samp |
| 62 | @item 0, video |
| 63 | show video |
| 64 | @item 1, waves |
| 65 | show audio waves |
| 66 | @item 2, rdft |
| 67 | show audio frequency band using RDFT ((Inverse) Real Discrete Fourier Transform) |
| 68 | @end table |
| 69 | |
| 70 | Default value is "video", if video is not present or cannot be played |
| 71 | "rdft" is automatically selected. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | You can interactively cycle through the available show modes by |
| 74 | pressing the key @key{w}. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | @item -vf @var{filtergraph} |
| 77 | Create the filtergraph specified by @var{filtergraph} and use it to |
| 78 | filter the video stream. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | @var{filtergraph} is a description of the filtergraph to apply to |
| 81 | the stream, and must have a single video input and a single video |
| 82 | output. In the filtergraph, the input is associated to the label |
| 83 | @code{in}, and the output to the label @code{out}. See the |
| 84 | ffmpeg-filters manual for more information about the filtergraph |
| 85 | syntax. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | You can specify this parameter multiple times and cycle through the specified |
| 88 | filtergraphs along with the show modes by pressing the key @key{w}. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | @item -af @var{filtergraph} |
| 91 | @var{filtergraph} is a description of the filtergraph to apply to |
| 92 | the input audio. |
| 93 | Use the option "-filters" to show all the available filters (including |
| 94 | sources and sinks). |
| 95 | |
| 96 | @item -i @var{input_file} |
| 97 | Read @var{input_file}. |
| 98 | @end table |
| 99 | |
| 100 | @section Advanced options |
| 101 | @table @option |
| 102 | @item -pix_fmt @var{format} |
| 103 | Set pixel format. |
| 104 | This option has been deprecated in favor of private options, try -pixel_format. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | @item -stats |
| 107 | Print several playback statistics, in particular show the stream |
| 108 | duration, the codec parameters, the current position in the stream and |
| 109 | the audio/video synchronisation drift. It is on by default, to |
| 110 | explicitly disable it you need to specify @code{-nostats}. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | @item -bug |
| 113 | Work around bugs. |
| 114 | @item -fast |
| 115 | Non-spec-compliant optimizations. |
| 116 | @item -genpts |
| 117 | Generate pts. |
| 118 | @item -rtp_tcp |
| 119 | Force RTP/TCP protocol usage instead of RTP/UDP. It is only meaningful |
| 120 | if you are streaming with the RTSP protocol. |
| 121 | @item -sync @var{type} |
| 122 | Set the master clock to audio (@code{type=audio}), video |
| 123 | (@code{type=video}) or external (@code{type=ext}). Default is audio. The |
| 124 | master clock is used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media |
| 125 | players use audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high |
| 126 | quality broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly |
| 127 | used for debugging purposes. |
| 128 | @item -threads @var{count} |
| 129 | Set the thread count. |
| 130 | @item -ast @var{audio_stream_number} |
| 131 | Select the desired audio stream number, counting from 0. The number |
| 132 | refers to the list of all the input audio streams. If it is greater |
| 133 | than the number of audio streams minus one, then the last one is |
| 134 | selected, if it is negative the audio playback is disabled. |
| 135 | @item -vst @var{video_stream_number} |
| 136 | Select the desired video stream number, counting from 0. The number |
| 137 | refers to the list of all the input video streams. If it is greater |
| 138 | than the number of video streams minus one, then the last one is |
| 139 | selected, if it is negative the video playback is disabled. |
| 140 | @item -sst @var{subtitle_stream_number} |
| 141 | Select the desired subtitle stream number, counting from 0. The number |
| 142 | refers to the list of all the input subtitle streams. If it is greater |
| 143 | than the number of subtitle streams minus one, then the last one is |
| 144 | selected, if it is negative the subtitle rendering is disabled. |
| 145 | @item -autoexit |
| 146 | Exit when video is done playing. |
| 147 | @item -exitonkeydown |
| 148 | Exit if any key is pressed. |
| 149 | @item -exitonmousedown |
| 150 | Exit if any mouse button is pressed. |
| 151 | |
| 152 | @item -codec:@var{media_specifier} @var{codec_name} |
| 153 | Force a specific decoder implementation for the stream identified by |
| 154 | @var{media_specifier}, which can assume the values @code{a} (audio), |
