- <h1 class="chapter"><a href="ffplay.html#toc-Description">2 Description</a></h1>
-
- <p>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.
- </p>
- <a name="Options"></a>
- <h1 class="chapter"><a href="ffplay.html#toc-Options">3 Options</a></h1>
-
- <p>All the numerical options, if not specified otherwise, accept a string
- representing a number as input, which may be followed by one of the SI
- unit prefixes, for example: ’K’, ’M’, or ’G’.
- </p>
- <p>If ’i’ is appended to the SI unit prefix, the complete prefix will be
- interpreted as a unit prefix for binary multiples, which are based on
- powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000. Appending ’B’ to the SI unit
- prefix multiplies the value by 8. This allows using, for example:
- ’KB’, ’MiB’, ’G’ and ’B’ as number suffixes.
- </p>
- <p>Options which do not take arguments are boolean options, and set the
- corresponding value to true. They can be set to false by prefixing
- the option name with "no". For example using "-nofoo"
- will set the boolean option with name "foo" to false.

- </p><a name="Stream-specifiers-1"></a>
- <h2 class="section"><a href="ffplay.html#toc-Stream-specifiers-1">3.1 Stream specifiers</a></h2>
- <p>Some options are applied per-stream, e.g. bitrate or codec. Stream specifiers
- are used to precisely specify which stream(s) a given option belongs to.
- </p>
- <p>A stream specifier is a string generally appended to the option name and
- separated from it by a colon. E.g. <code>-codec:a:1 ac3</code> contains the
- <code>a:1</code> stream specifier, which matches the second audio stream. Therefore, it
- would select the ac3 codec for the second audio stream.
- </p>
- <p>A stream specifier can match several streams, so that the option is applied to all
- of them. E.g. the stream specifier in <code>-b:a 128k</code> matches all audio
- streams.
- </p>
- <p>An empty stream specifier matches all streams. For example, <code>-codec copy</code>
- or <code>-codec: copy</code> would copy all the streams without reencoding.
- </p>
- <p>Possible forms of stream specifiers are:
- </p><dl compact="compact">
- <dt>‘<samp><var>stream_index</var></samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>Matches the stream with this index. E.g. <code>-threads:1 4</code> would set the
- thread count for the second stream to 4. If <var>stream_index</var> is used as an
- additional stream specifier (see below), then it selects stream number
- <var>stream_index</var> from the matching streams. Stream numbering is based on the
- order of the streams as detected by libavformat except when a program ID is
- also specified. In this case it is based on the ordering of the streams in the
- program.
- </p></dd>
- <dt>‘<samp><var>stream_type</var>[:<var>additional_stream_specifier</var>]</samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p><var>stream_type</var> is one of following: ’v’ or ’V’ for video, ’a’ for audio, ’s’
- for subtitle, ’d’ for data, and ’t’ for attachments. ’v’ matches all video
- streams, ’V’ only matches video streams which are not attached pictures, video
- thumbnails or cover arts. If <var>additional_stream_specifier</var> is used, then
- it matches streams which both have this type and match the
- <var>additional_stream_specifier</var>. Otherwise, it matches all streams of the
- specified type.
- </p></dd>
- <dt>‘<samp>p:<var>program_id</var>[:<var>additional_stream_specifier</var>]</samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>Matches streams which are in the program with the id <var>program_id</var>. If
- <var>additional_stream_specifier</var> is used, then it matches streams which both
- are part of the program and match the <var>additional_stream_specifier</var>.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt>‘<samp>#<var>stream_id</var> or i:<var>stream_id</var></samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>Match the stream by stream id (e.g. PID in MPEG-TS container).
- </p></dd>
- <dt>‘<samp>m:<var>key</var>[:<var>value</var>]</samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>Matches streams with the metadata tag <var>key</var> having the specified value. If
- <var>value</var> is not given, matches streams that contain the given tag with any
- value.
- </p></dd>
- <dt>‘<samp>u</samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>Matches streams with usable configuration, the codec must be defined and the
- essential information such as video dimension or audio sample rate must be present.
- </p>
- <p>Note that in <code>ffmpeg</code>, matching by metadata will only work properly for
- input files.

- <dd><p>Indicates that log output should add a <code>[level]</code> prefix to each message
- line. This can be used as an alternative to log coloring, e.g. when dumping the
- log to file.
- </p></dd>
- </dl>
- <p>Flags can also be used alone by adding a ’+’/’-’ prefix to set/reset a single
- flag without affecting other <var>flags</var> or changing <var>loglevel</var>. When
- setting both <var>flags</var> and <var>loglevel</var>, a ’+’ separator is expected
- between the last <var>flags</var> value and before <var>loglevel</var>.
- </p>
- <p><var>loglevel</var> is a string or a number containing one of the following values:

-
- <p>For example to enable repeated log output, add the <code>level</code> prefix, and set
- <var>loglevel</var> to <code>verbose</code>:
- </p><div class="example">
- <pre class="example">ffmpeg -loglevel repeat+level+verbose -i input output
- </pre></div>
- <p>Another example that enables repeated log output without affecting current
- state of <code>level</code> prefix flag or <var>loglevel</var>:
- </p><div class="example">
- <pre class="example">ffmpeg [...] -loglevel +repeat
- </pre></div>
-
- <p>By default the program logs to stderr. If coloring is supported by the
- terminal, colors are used to mark errors and warnings. Log coloring
- can be disabled setting the environment variable
- <code>AV_LOG_FORCE_NOCOLOR</code>, or can be forced setting
- the environment variable <code>AV_LOG_FORCE_COLOR</code>.

- <a name="AVOptions"></a>
- <h2 class="section"><a href="ffplay.html#toc-AVOptions">3.3 AVOptions</a></h2>
-
- <p>These options are provided directly by the libavformat, libavdevice and
- libavcodec libraries. To see the list of available AVOptions, use the
- ‘<samp>-help</samp>’ option. They are separated into two categories:
- </p><dl compact="compact">
- <dt>‘<samp>generic</samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>These options can be set for any container, codec or device. Generic options
- are listed under AVFormatContext options for containers/devices and under
- AVCodecContext options for codecs.
- </p></dd>
- <dt>‘<samp>private</samp>’</dt>
- <dd><p>These options are specific to the given container, device or codec. Private
- options are listed under their corresponding containers/devices/codecs.
- </p></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>For example to write an ID3v2.3 header instead of a default ID3v2.4 to
- an MP3 file, use the ‘<samp>id3v2_version</samp>’ private option of the MP3
- muxer:
- </p><div class="example">
- <pre class="example">ffmpeg -i input.flac -id3v2_version 3 out.mp3
- </pre></div>
-
- <p>All codec AVOptions are per-stream, and thus a stream specifier
- should be attached to them:
- </p><div class="example">
- <pre class="example">ffmpeg -i multichannel.mxf -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:0 -c:a:0 ac3 -b:a:0 640k -ac:a:1 2 -c:a:1 aac -b:2 128k out.mp4
- </pre></div>
-
- <p>In the above example, a multichannel audio stream is mapped twice for output.
- The first instance is encoded with codec ac3 and bitrate 640k.
- The second instance is downmixed to 2 channels and encoded with codec aac. A bitrate of 128k is specified for it using
- absolute index of the output stream.
- </p>
- <p>Note: the ‘<samp>-nooption</samp>’ syntax cannot be used for boolean
- AVOptions, use ‘<samp>-option 0</samp>’/‘<samp>-option 1</samp>’.
- </p>
- <p>Note: the old undocumented way of specifying per-stream AVOptions by
- prepending v/a/s to the options name is now obsolete and will be
- removed soon.
