21 @c man begin DESCRIPTION
23 avplay is a very simple and portable media player using the Libav
24 libraries and the SDL library. It is mostly used as a testbed for the
31 @include avtools-common-opts.texi
37 Force displayed width.
39 Force displayed height.
41 This option has been removed. Use private format options for specifying the
42 input video size. For example with the rawvideo demuxer you need to specify the
43 option @var{video_size}.
49 Seek to a given position in seconds.
50 @item -t @var{duration}
51 play <duration> seconds of audio/video
55 Disable graphical display.
58 @item -window_title @var{title}
59 Set window title (default is the input filename).
60 @item -loop @var{number}
61 Loops movie playback <number> times. 0 means forever.
62 @item -vf @var{filter_graph}
63 @var{filter_graph} is a description of the filter graph to apply to
65 Use the option "-filters" to show all the available filters (including
66 also sources and sinks).
70 @section Advanced options
72 @item -pix_fmt @var{format}
73 This option has been removed. Use private options for specifying the
74 input pixel format. For example with the rawvideo demuxer you need to specify
75 the option @var{pixel_format}.
77 Show the stream duration, the codec parameters, the current position in
78 the stream and the audio/video synchronisation drift.
82 Non-spec-compliant optimizations.
86 Force RTP/TCP protocol usage instead of RTP/UDP. It is only meaningful
87 if you are streaming with the RTSP protocol.
88 @item -sync @var{type}
89 Set the master clock to audio (@code{type=audio}), video
90 (@code{type=video}) or external (@code{type=ext}). Default is audio. The
91 master clock is used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media
92 players use audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high
93 quality broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly
94 used for debugging purposes.
95 @item -threads @var{count}
97 @item -ast @var{audio_stream_number}
98 Select the desired audio stream number, counting from 0. The number
99 refers to the list of all the input audio streams. If it is greater
100 than the number of audio streams minus one, then the last one is
101 selected, if it is negative the audio playback is disabled.
102 @item -vst @var{video_stream_number}
103 Select the desired video stream number, counting from 0. The number
104 refers to the list of all the input video streams. If it is greater
105 than the number of video streams minus one, then the last one is
106 selected, if it is negative the video playback is disabled.
107 @item -sst @var{subtitle_stream_number}
108 Select the desired subtitle stream number, counting from 0. The number
109 refers to the list of all the input subtitle streams. If it is greater
110 than the number of subtitle streams minus one, then the last one is
111 selected, if it is negative the subtitle rendering is disabled.
113 Do not exit after playback is finished.
115 Exit if any key is pressed.
116 @item -exitonmousedown
117 Exit if any mouse button is pressed.
119 Disable automatically rotating video based on file metadata.
122 @section While playing
141 Cycle subtitle channel.
147 Seek backward/forward 10 seconds.
150 Seek backward/forward 1 minute.
153 Seek to the previous/next chapter.
156 Seek to percentage in file corresponding to fraction of width.
