Woah that's really weird. You could say that they vary because they're such generic parameters: ffplay mostly doesn't interact with the hardware. Drawing the frames in a window, playing the sound through the system audio server, is done by an external library, my build uses SDL2 for this. I thought that was the most common case when building ffplay for macOS. But anyway, a lot of the common parameters are usually "mapped" to the same ffmpeg option, so the commands are as consistent as possible even if you use different components in your build. The options do vary from build to build, because each build is probably going to have some meaningful difference in the source code, the project is active and keeps changing. The banner that shows up by default when you type any ffmpeg command indicates almost everything there is to know about each build configuration, since there are practically infinite variations of the software, people tend to assume you're running a fairly recent build unless you provide that. A lot of people think they are downloading the latest version as they download the latest release, but it's actually pretty old (relatively) since by nature there is only a few a year, if that. The options I mentioned go back a couple years though, so I'm not sure, maybe it wasn't working for some time? Do post the output when you get the chance (from ffplay command) Regards, Ted Park _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
