DESCRIPTION

-f fmt

-img img_fmt
This option is used to force a given image format when playing image sequences. Example:

Advanced options

-stats
Show the stream duration, the codec parameters, the current position in the stream and the audio/video synchronisation drift.
-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 (CWtype=audio), video (CWtype=video) or external (CWtype=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.
