ffmpeg-player

Play video using ffmpeg.

📝 Acknowledge

This package will output video into images (in frame). This might causes many I/O times and disk space (Even though these frames will eventually get cleaned up). I would like to mention you all the information and consequences before you use this package.

See melpa/6560 for more information.

External Program

This package uses these following programs, make sure these program are added to your path.

• ffmpeg
• ffplay - Bundle with ffmpeg.

🔌 Capability

Base on ffplay's website.

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.

Hence, I have encounter some issues synchronize video and audio. Try move the timeline by pressing <left> or <right> key multiple times could resolve such an issue.

🔧 Usage

You can play the video by calling function ffmpeg-player-video.

(ffmpeg-player-video (expand-file-name "./test/1.avi"))

And here is the control of the media.

• space - Pause/Unpause.
• up - Increase volume by 5.
• down - Decrease volume by 5.
• left - Backward timeline 10 seconds.
• right - Forward timeline 10 seconds.
• m - Mute/Unmute.
• r - Replay.

📝 Todo List

• Play youtube video through url.
