FFPlay and delfinampeg.device

[utri007]

Can I use delfinampeg.device with ffplay and how?

That would be good solution, it would let cpu free to do video decoding.

That would be a good use of the Delfina, but there's no support right now. The FFmpeg guys would have to add it.

[utri007]

That would be nice if it would be possible.

It would make ffplay more usefull and maybe even sell more delfina cards and that way support one of the last remaining hardware manufacturer.

Even with audio offloaded I don't think ffplay could be useful with real hw, even with 060 and gfxcard.

On my A4000T with 060 and 233, CVisionPPC, Delfina Lite and a 120GB IDE Seagate harddisk converted to SCSI3,  I used Frogger.WOS and could watch divx movies without any frame skipping while Defina decoded the audio with a custom overlay screen resolution.

Frogger is ppc, ffplay is 68k. Ffplay doesn't do overlay (at least until the particular amiga sdl does it). You could not play those same videos with ffplay, even if the audio would use delfina.

I wonder though: why ffplay? Last I checked mplayer was much faster.

At least I could get fluent audio with nice slide show

I wonder... why isn't there a wos version of ffplay?

There's a MorphOS one, but MPlayer (MorphOS) would behave better than ffplay, anyway.
If you happen to have a GRex+Voodoo3, both MPlayer and FFplay would use overlay, too.

Oh well, for 1080P H264 videos which are now more and more popular thanks to QT trailers/YouTube the best is to use x86 version of any player.

There is. But it doesn't work because sdl under wos is buggy and make ffplay wos crash !!!

Buy a dedicated mediaplayer with RS232/USB remote controller and video output, and operate it inside the amiga, plug the video output to your TV card and build a controller interface using arexx, one of the rexx-serial libraries and MUI/AWNPipe - mission accomplished.

Or just drop the complicating "amiga" bit in the above
