           debug

   Main options
       -x width
           Force displayed width.

       -y height
           Force displayed height.

       -s size
           Set frame size (WxH or abbreviation), needed for videos which don’t
           contain a header with the frame size like raw YUV.

       -an Disable audio.

   Advanced options
       -pix_fmt format
           Set pixel format.

       -stats
           Show the stream duration, the codec parameters, the current
           position in the stream and the audio/video synchronisation drift.

       -debug
           Print specific debug info.

       -bug
           Work around bugs.

       -vismv
           Visualize motion vectors.

       -fast
           Non-spec-compliant optimizations.

       -genpts
           Generate pts.

       -rtp_tcp
           Force RTP/TCP protocol usage instead of RTP/UDP. It is only
           meaningful if you are streaming with the RTSP protocol.

       -sync type
           Set the master clock to audio ("type=audio"), video ("type=video")
           or external ("type=ext"). Default is audio. The master clock is
           used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media players use
           audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high quality
           broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly
           used for debugging purposes.

       -threads count
           Set the thread count.

       -ast audio_stream_number
           Select the desired audio stream number, counting from 0. The number
           refers to the list of all the input audio streams. If it is greater
           than the number of audio streams minus one, then the last one is
           selected, if it is negative the audio playback is disabled.

       -vst video_stream_number
           Select the desired video stream number, counting from 0. The number
           refers to the list of all the input video streams. If it is greater
           than the number of video streams minus one, then the last one is
           selected, if it is negative the video playback is disabled.

       -sst subtitle_stream_number
           Select the desired subtitle stream number, counting from 0. The
           number refers to the list of all the input subtitle streams. If it
           is greater than the number of subtitle streams minus one, then the
           last one is selected, if it is negative the subtitle rendering is
           disabled.

   While playing
       q, ESC
           Quit.

       f   Toggle full screen.

       p, SPC
           Pause.

       a   Cycle audio channel.

       v   Cycle video channel.

       t   Cycle subtitle channel.

       w   Show audio waves.

       left/right
           Seek backward/forward 10 seconds.

       down/up
           Seek backward/forward 1 minute.

       mouse click
           Seek to percentage in file corresponding to fraction of width.
