The graphics with the “w” key are fine, but if you can come up with something a bit nicer, that would be even better; if you can, perhaps make the audio window a bit smaller too, like the classic audio player windows. Thanks, and sorry for taking up some of your precious time.

New version

I changed the default visualization for music (now “waves” by default, and the spectrum when "w"

I changed how the window behaves with large videos.

You can also specify the window size manually in the command line:
ffplay song.mp3 -x 300 -y 100

I'll get back to FFmpeg after the weekend. In the meantime, feel free to test out the rest of the options, and if you find any bugs or have ideas for improvements, we'll keep working on it.

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=12187]@AMIGASYSTEM - miker, sorry, I made a ty, i meant to say ‘MPlayer’, which crashes with certain media formats. Unfortunately, old age plays tricks on you like that. I’ve corrected the post![/quote]

Yeah the .smk videos in Dungeonkeeper were some of these examples (the converted version seemed fine, but I did not try the conversion with the AROS version).

Mnay thanks fo rthe new verion.

If it's still being worked on, is there any chance to add the -cache option into ffplay? I'm finding on my i5 playback is a bit jerky for dvd files.

Many thanks,
Nigel.

Perfect, retrofaza. I’ve created two scripts, “PlaySound” and “PlayVideo”, which use FFPlay with window resolutions tailored to my preferences. Now, on AROS 64-bit, all the most common multimedia formats will be supported by both Wanderer and Dopus4 and Dopus5. Thanks again.

I tried setting the resolutions via the Icona Tooltypes, but it seems that isn’t supported!

Another version.

You can now also specify arguments in the tooltype section.
For example, if you enter the following in the tooltype section:
-x 300
-y 100
-window_title "My Player"

The file will open in a window measuring 300x100, with the title "My Player"

Great work! we now have two options: FFPlayer is ideal for Dopus4 and Dopus5, allowing you to watch videos and listen to music all within the same window size.

In future, it would be handy to have some buttons to stop the music, pause it, and fast-forward and rewind (if supported).

I tried dragging a media file onto an open FFPlayer window and noticed that it opens a second window but then playback freezes.

I probably won't be adding any new features to ffplay. Let it remain the simple tool it was meant to be

As for the crash during the drop, that's a lower-level issue (probably in SDL). I'll try to look into it.

That’s fine, just having FFPlay working on AROS 64-bit is a huge achievement; thank you for making it happen

I think this is the last update:

[url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CC9IKkTWD3zG3pqxgItMxLnHfkpf8y2K/view?usp=sharing[/url]

Added a workaround in SDL2 that prevents a crash when dragging and dropping onto the ffplay window.

OK, there are no crashes now, so you can close the window. Thank you.

Does ffplay support all the formats in the test directory?

Also, does ffplay have a conversion function to convert between formats such as wav to mp3, m4a to mp3, etc?

AMIGASYSTEM,
I borrowed your screenshot.

You can convert formats using ffmpeg, eg.

ffmpeg -i filenameee.m4a -acodec libmp3lame -ab 256k output.mp3

Retrofaza, again many thanks for porting this really useful software to 64 bit .

Cheers,

There is a GUI Frontend for FFMpeg called WinFF. I wonder how difficult it would be to port something like that to AROS and convert to MUI ?

It seems that a variant of WinFF was ported to Ubuntu using GTK+ so maybe using the GTK-MUI wrapper.

What do we call it ? ArosFF ?

It could be called FFMedia or AROS FFMedia, AROS Multimedia

Miker1264 You can make a GUI in Hollywood

WinFF is a project for another day. :-)

But I'm interested in trying FFPlay and FFMpeg.

@AMIGASYSTEM

I added a simple grabber to FFmpeg. It's not exactly a speed demon. I'm not sure if it'll be useful for any practical applications. You can test it out:

ffmpeg -f arosgrab -framerate 10 -i screen -t 10 -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
