launch ffplay with user-agent option

[marclachance]

Hello !

I'm trying to launch ffplay.exe from an autoit script in a thanks to the notepad GUI demo.

The ffplay command to launch is this one : 

C:\ffplay.exe  -headers="User-agent:Videotester" http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8

 

Here is the basic line :  

 Run("C:\ffplay.exe  -headers="User-agent:VIdeotester " http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8")

I can't do this via autoit because i think of quoting issues. i Have tried many combination but without success...

Any help will be appreciated !

 

Thanks

It can be used like this

expandcollapse popup

    If $sStderrRead <> '' Then
        If Not $iDuration Then
            If StringInStr ( $sStderrRead, 'Duration:' ) Then
                $aRet = StringRegExp ( $sStderrRead, '(?s)(?i)Duration: (.*?), ', 3 )
                If Not @error Then $iDuration = _String2Sec ( $aRet[0] )
            EndIf
        Else

                $iTime = StringReplace ( $aRet[0], '.', ',' )
                If $iTime Then
                    If Not $iOffSet Then $iOffSet = Floor ( $iTime - TimerDiff ( $hTimerInit )/1000 )
                    If $hWnd Then WinSetTitle ( $hWnd, '', 'ffplay Progress ' & Floor ( 100*( ( $iTime - $iOffSet )/$iDuration ) ) & '%' )
                EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
        ConsoleWrite ( '! STDERR read : ' & $sStderrRead & @Crlf )
    EndIf
    Sleep ( 10 )
Wend

Exit

Func _String2Sec ( $sString )
    Local $a = StringSplit ( $sString, ':' ), $iRet
    If Not @error Then
        For $i = UBound ( $a ) -1 To 1 Step -1
            $iRet += $a[$i]* ( 60^ ( UBound ( $a ) -1 -$i ) )
        Next
    EndIf
    Return $iRet
EndFunc ;==> _String2Sec()

Progress must be adapted from FFPlay version and from videos.

Some of them do not return duration or FFPlay is not able to get it.

May be you have tried FFPlay.exe and some libraries are missing...

is there a way to skin the player?  the pop window it uses nos is plain and a bit ugly

I have never found a way to embed or skin ffplay.

His window handle can only be found once ffplay is launched and visible, so it limit the possibilities to work on his appearance.

You can set width and height but not his coordinates.
