FBFF

Fbff is a framebuffer/OSS media player using ffmpeg or libmpeg3.

USAGE

To start it simply run:

$ fbff file.sth

When playing video files, audio and video may get out of sync. So I suggest using this by default:

$ fbff -u -s file.sth

And if that results in choppy playback, use:

$ fbff -u -s100 file.sth

This means record A/V diff after the first few video frames (-u) and synchronize each 100 video frames (-s100). This should work for most files.

The following table describes fbff keybinding. Most of these commands accept a numerical prefix. The variable avdiff is used to synchronize audio and video streams. The synchronization is done after the 's' key or the pause and seek commands. '-', '+', and 'a' keys can be used to change the value of avdiff as explained below.

============== ================================================ KEY ACTION ============== ================================================ p/space pause q quit i print info l/j/J seek forward 10s/60s/600s h/k/K seek backward 10s/60s/600s G seek to the given minute % seek to the specified position in percents ^[/escape clear numerical prefix mx mark position as 'x' 'x jump to position marked as 'x' s synchronize audio/video with A-V equal to avdiff

•   set avdiff to -arg
  

•   set avdiff to +arg
  

a set avdiff to current playback A-V diff c set synchronization steps ============== ================================================

OPTIONS AND KEYS

The following options can be specified when starting fbff:

============== ================================================ OPTION DESCRIPTION ============== ================================================ -z x specify ffmpeg video zoom -m x magnify the video by duplicating pixels -j x jump every x video frames; for slow machines -f start full screen -v x select video stream; '-' disables video -a x select audio stream; '-' disables audio -t use time based seeking; only if the default doesn't work -s don't rely on video frame-rate; always synchronize -u record avdiff after the first few frames of video -t path the file containing the subtitles -x x adjust video position horizontally -y x adjust video position vertically -r adjust the video to the right of the screen -b adjust the video to the bottom of the screen ============== ================================================
