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}
37 force displayed height
43 disable graphical display
47 This option is used to force a given image format
48 when playing image sequences. Example:
50 ffplay -img pgmyuv tests/vsynth1/%d.pgm
54 @section Advanced options
57 Show the stream duration, the codec parameters, the current position in
58 the stream and the audio/video synchronisation drift.
60 Force RTP/TCP protocol usage instead of RTP/UDP. It is only meaningful
61 if you are streaming with the RTSP protocol.
63 Set the master clock to audio (@code{type=audio}), video
64 (@code{type=video}) or external (@code{type=ext}). Default is audio. The
65 master clock is used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media
66 players use audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high
67 quality broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly
68 used for debugging purposes.
