CLI Media Players and Tools
Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2024 6:30 pm
While I'm learning more about the current Linux+media landscape and try to build some sort of 'Play' library that works on most Linuxes...and before I go out into the "blizzard of '24" I figured I'd share this little tester stack, the stack script contains the beginnings of an FFMPEG/FFPlay library (the sort of library that can be auto-initialized like an Extension).
It's just wrappers for some (blocking) shell scripts at the moment, but if you have the FFMPEG CLIs installed (on macOS or Linux) it should find it and use it automatically (if not it should ask the user to locate), The 'get commandPath( pCLIName )' handler is simple but very useful for that purpose.
