I'm trying to compile FFmpeg myself with the help of AI. I'm making good progress—let's hope I manage to compile it and that it works on AROS 32-bit !

If I have to keep AROS One 32-bit, I'll have to update it; otherwise, I won't distribute it anymore!

Fair enough for FFmpeg (everyone has only so much time available and one has to prioritise) but more generally (from my recent computer-fair conversations) there is still an interest in using 32 bit on older machines and there's definitely a 'gap in the market' there with most Linux distributions dropping 32 bot support.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Yes, that’s true, but there are still plenty of people using 32-bit systems, and AROS One 32-bit is still in high demand. I thought the FFmpeg code was already ready to be compiled; perhaps I could have tried compiling it myself if the source code had been available.

No. Personally, I think that now that we have a fully functional 64-bit system, it's a waste to spend time and resources supporting the old 32-bit versions.

Is it possible to get a 64-bit version of your latest version of FFmpeg? I'd like to release both versions of MP4-ScreenRecorder.

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

Thanks, let's see if ScreenRecorde can use it; if not, we'll figure something out!

WinFF is a project for another day. :-)

But I'm interested in trying FFPlay and FFMpeg.

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 ?

@ntromans - 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.


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

Cheers,
Nigel.

AMIGASYSTEM,
I borrowed your screenshot.


You can convert formats using ffmpeg, eg.

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

Audio: MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, ALAC, WMA, AC-3,AMR, WAV, MP3, AIFF, RA, 8SVX

Immage: JPEG, PNG, GIF Anim, GIF, ANIM, TIFF, WebP, BMP, ILBM, PCX, TGA, TIF, XBM, XPM

There are probably others too...

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

I think this is the last update:

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

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

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

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

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

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.
