ffplaycontrol

Nodejs module to control ffplay, like omxcontrol for omxplayer.

Requirements

• ffplay (included in ffmpeg)
• nodejs (apt-get install nodejs)

Install

npm install ffplaycontrol

Usage

Basic usage

ffplay = require('ffplaycontrol');

ffplay.start(filename);

ffplay.pause();

ffplay.quit();

ffplay() can be passed a mapping function to map the filename to something else. Calling the provided start method is required to actually start the video. Your logic can be async and even choose not to start things:

ffplay = require('ffplaycontrol');
ffplay(function(fn,start) {
    //do something special
    start(fn);
});
