pd-ffplay~

binaries of the ffmplay~ external for PureData by myQwil https://github.com/myQwil/pdxtra

The FFmpeg (version 4.4.1) libraries are dynamically linked to the builds provided, which means that you'll need a local installation of these libraries in order for the external to work. A package manager is probably the ideal way to install them. Otherwise, they are available at ffmpeg.org/download.html, just be sure to get the "Shared" builds, and place them in a location where the external is able to find them.

Features:

• play/pause and seek functionality
• changing the speed of playback
• reading and iterating through m3u playlists
• opening files from http urls.
• retrieving metadata
• specifying additional channels as creation args for files with surround sound.
• In the help file, you'll notice ffplay~ has the creation arguments 1 2 5 6. The 5 and 6 represent rear-left and rear-right channels. A full list of available channels can be found here: github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavutil/channel_layout.h
