@chapter Synopsis

ffplay [@var{options}] [@file{input_url}]

@chapter Description
@c man begin DESCRIPTION

FFplay is a very simple and portable media player using the FFmpeg
libraries and the SDL library. It is mostly used as a testbed for the
various FFmpeg APIs.

@chapter Options
@c man begin OPTIONS

@include fftools-common-opts.texi

@section Main options

@table @option
@item -x @var{width}
Force displayed width.
@item -y @var{height}
Force displayed height.
@item -s @var{size}
Set frame size (WxH or abbreviation), needed for videos which do
not contain a header with the frame size like raw YUV.  This option
has been deprecated in favor of private options, try -video_size.
@item -fs
Start in fullscreen mode.
@item -an
Disable audio.
@item -vn
Disable video.
@item -sn
Disable subtitles.
@item -ss @var{pos}
Seek to @var{pos}. Note that in most formats it is not possible to seek
exactly, so @command{ffplay} will seek to the nearest seek point to
@var{pos}.

@var{pos} must be a time duration specification,
see @ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
@item -t @var{duration}
Play @var{duration} seconds of audio/video.

@var{duration} must be a time duration specification,
see @ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
@item -bytes
Seek by bytes.
@item -seek_interval
Set custom interval, in seconds, for seeking using left/right keys. Default is 10 seconds.
@item -nodisp
Disable graphical display.
@item -noborder
Borderless window.
@item -alwaysontop
Window always on top. Available on: X11 with SDL >= 2.0.5, Windows SDL >= 2.0.6.
@item -volume
Set the startup volume. 0 means silence, 100 means no volume reduction or
amplification. Negative values are treated as 0, values above 100 are treated
as 100.
@item -f @var{fmt}
Force format.
@item -window_title @var{title}
Set window title (default is the input filename).
@item -left @var{title}
Set the x position for the left of the window (default is a centered window).
@item -top @var{title}
Set the y position for the top of the window (default is a centered window).
@item -loop @var{number}
Loops movie playback <number> times. 0 means forever.
@item -showmode @var{mode}
Set the show mode to use.
Available values for @var{mode} are:
@table @samp
@item 0, video
show video
@item 1, waves
show audio waves
@item 2, rdft
show audio frequency band using RDFT ((Inverse) Real Discrete Fourier Transform)
@end table

Default value is "video", if video is not present or cannot be played
"rdft" is automatically selected.

You can interactively cycle through the available show modes by
pressing the key @key{w}.

@item -vf @var{filtergraph}
Create the filtergraph specified by @var{filtergraph} and use it to
filter the video stream.

@var{filtergraph} is a description of the filtergraph to apply to
the stream, and must have a single video input and a single video
output. In the filtergraph, the input is associated to the label
@code{in}, and the output to the label @code{out}. See the
ffmpeg-filters manual for more information about the filtergraph
syntax.

You can specify this parameter multiple times and cycle through the specified
filtergraphs along with the show modes by pressing the key @key{w}.

@item -af @var{filtergraph}
@var{filtergraph} is a description of the filtergraph to apply to
the input audio.
Use the option "-filters" to show all the available filters (including
sources and sinks).

@item -i @var{input_url}
Read @var{input_url}.
@end table

@section Advanced options
@table @option
@item -pix_fmt @var{format}
Set pixel format.
This option has been deprecated in favor of private options, try -pixel_format.

@item -stats
Print several playback statistics, in particular show the stream
duration, the codec parameters, the current position in the stream and
the audio/video synchronisation drift. It is shown by default, unless the
log level is lower than @code{info}. Its display can be forced by manually
specifying this option. To disable it, you need to specify @code{-nostats}.

@item -fast
Non-spec-compliant optimizations.
@item -genpts
Generate pts.
@item -sync @var{type}
Set the master clock to audio (@code{type=audio}), video
(@code{type=video}) or external (@code{type=ext}). Default is audio. The
master clock is used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media
players use audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high
quality broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly
used for debugging purposes.
@item -ast @var{audio_stream_specifier}
Select the desired audio stream using the given stream specifier. The stream
specifiers are described in the @ref{Stream specifiers} chapter. If this option
is not specified, the "best" audio stream is selected in the program of the
already selected video stream.
@item -vst @var{video_stream_specifier}
Select the desired video stream using the given stream specifier. The stream
specifiers are described in the @ref{Stream specifiers} chapter. If this option
is not specified, the "best" video stream is selected.
@item -sst @var{subtitle_stream_specifier}
Select the desired subtitle stream using the given stream specifier. The stream
specifiers are described in the @ref{Stream specifiers} chapter. If this option
is not specified, the "best" subtitle stream is selected in the program of the
already selected video or audio stream.
@item -autoexit
Exit when video is done playing.
@item -exitonkeydown
Exit if any key is pressed.
@item -exitonmousedown
Exit if any mouse button is pressed.

@item -codec:@var{media_specifier} @var{codec_name}
Force a specific decoder implementation for the stream identified by
@var{media_specifier}, which can assume the values @code{a} (audio),
@code{v} (video), and @code{s} subtitle.

@item -acodec @var{codec_name}
Force a specific audio decoder.

@item -vcodec @var{codec_name}
Force a specific video decoder.

@item -scodec @var{codec_name}
Force a specific subtitle decoder.

@item -autorotate
Automatically rotate the video according to file metadata. Enabled by
default, use @option{-noautorotate} to disable it.

@item -framedrop
Drop video frames if video is out of sync. Enabled by default if the master
clock is not set to video. Use this option to enable frame dropping for all
master clock sources, use @option{-noframedrop} to disable it.

@item -infbuf
Do not limit the input buffer size, read as much data as possible from the
input as soon as possible. Enabled by default for realtime streams, where data
may be dropped if not read in time. Use this option to enable infinite buffers
for all inputs, use @option{-noinfbuf} to disable it.

@item -filter_threads @var{nb_threads}
Defines how many threads are used to process a filter pipeline. Each pipeline
will produce a thread pool with this many threads available for parallel
processing. The default is 0 which means that the thread count will be
determined by the number of available CPUs.
