I can't reproduce the problem.  I downloaded the same video source and assets as yours and it played with my ffplay version 8.2-1568-b355200263-win32-shared.

Here is a new basic static build for you to test to see if the problem persists.

Unfortunately, the problem persists. I downloaded the video with same yt-dlp options once again. Same behaviour. Your ffplay.exe opens and immediately closes. Here is my suggestion. I'll send you a PM with a link to the video file, and you can test it in-depth on your system. Ok? :dubbio: If you need the yt-dlp log generated while downloading the video, do not hesitate to ask for it here. :)

@autodidact When testing, please use this command:

Quote

ffplay -autoexit -vf subtitles=filename=\'"Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"\' "Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"

I think it is a problem showing the embedded subtitle in version 8.2 as the standard command without subtitle works:

Quote

ffplay -autoexit "Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"

Maybe you can bring yourself to build your releases the way you always have in the past. :)

BTW, the MSFN editor is such a piece of junk. :realmad: To inject this code into my post, is an absolute nightmare. :realmad: I had to simplify my command. MSFN seems to consider completely harmless DOS commands to be dangerous. suisjebete.gifsuisjebete.gifsuisjebete.gif :roll1:

This should have the fix and it will be included in the next release as well.

Ok. Thanks! :) This one is working again. So it seems it really was a subtitle issue. I suppose that was due to your "scaling down to basic" since it didn't occur in version 8.1. :dubbio: Anyway! I'm looking forward to your next releases and perhaps one day a "scaling up to standard". :P

FFmpeg update.

XP:  static  shared  libfdk-aac

 

 

Versions for XP.
All full versions work fine. The lighter, stripped-down versions, including the latest one, do not support HTTPS.

For example:
  ffplay.exe -i “https://paranormalium.waw.pl/radio/8000/mp3_48”

ffplay returns this error:
https or dtls protocol not found, recompile FFmpeg with openssl, gnutls, or securetransport enabled.
https://paranormalium.waw.pl/radio/8000/mp3_48: Protocol not found

So here’s my question:
Could you release the full version for XP at least once in a while? The lightweight versions are great, but there are always unexpected issues with them, just like in this case.

... But the author has already mentioned that :whistle::

Also, the current builds have no cryptography library.

The community of XP-using members here has to reach a consensus as to what should be the minimal configuration of the FFmpeg/XP compiles, so that autodidact doesn't have to jump through hoops to try and satisfy each and every one of you ;) ; remember, this most kind person is offering an invaluable service out of the goodness of their heart :wub: ; compiling binaries is a time and CPU (read: electricity) consuming convoluted process...

The same stream is available through plain HTTP, 

http://paranormalium.waw.pl/radio/8000/mp3_48

so you can use that with an FFplay compile without HTTPS support built-in :P ...

FFmpeg update.

XP:  static  shared  libfdk-aac

VISTAx86:  static  shared  libfdk-aac

Thank you once more for these new releases :wub: ; however, I have to report that the latest ffplay.exe compiles for Vista x86, BOTH the static+shared binaries, are completely broken under Vista SP2 x86 (with ALL MS updates until EoS, and then some :whistle: ); whatever media file you throw at FFplay.exe (e.g., via drag-n-drop) results in the app instantly crashing; below, an instance of a plain MP4 file containing h264 video + aac audio:

Your previous VISTA release works as expected with that same MP4 file:

FWIW, your latest FFplay.exe static compile for WINXP doesn't suffer from this issue and plays the MP4 file without any problem:

You'll probably need a Vista SP2 x86 VM to troubleshoot this, as I have no clue as to what might have gone wrong; perhaps an updated third-party lib has in the interim (n8.2-dev-1568...n8.2-dev-2232) removed support for NT 6.0? We know it's not caused by upstream (FFmpeg source code), because your n8.2-dev-2232 compile for XP works OK; in addition, when I probe the MP4 file with latest FFmpeg for VISTA, it doesn't crash:

Hopefully you'll be able to get to the bottom of this, as I do use FFplay.exe myself under Vista SP2 (32-bit) :P; thanks for all your hard efforts already!

For the time being I am trying to avoid going back to a full build which may contain many libraries that nobody uses.  It will expand as fixes and requests are added to it.

Here is a build for you to test with added support for https.  The next release can include it in all builds.
