Overview

YAFFplayer is a video player based on FFmpeg library. YAFFplayer is an application made with GeeXLab. YAFFplayer can play all video formats supported by FFmpeg but I essentially tested the .mp4 format because MP4 files are very common, especially when you download videos from youtube with… youtube-dl.

youtube-dl is the main reason that pushed me to develop YAFFplayer. I wanted a simple user interface around this command line tool to quickly download videos with best format and occasionally extract MP3. I quickly coded that interface with GeeXLab (and ImGui) and YAFFplayer was born.

YAFFplayer is a simple video player. Basic functions are there: playing, pausing, and forward/backward seeking. To load a video, just drag and drop the video file into YAFFplayer. You can also load a video via command line (yaffplayer path_to_video_file).

Besides these basic functions, YAFFplayer includes video effect filters (more filters will be added in next versions) and the possibility to download videos from all youtube-like websites (complete list is available HERE). To download a video, copy the video URL, click on the [Video++] button, click on the [Paste video link] button and click on [Download video] button. Videos are saved in YAFFplayer/dl/ folder.

 
YAFFplayer has no pretensions to being a widely used video player. It’s just an experimental tool that allows me to improve the FFmpeg plugin of GeeXLab.

I plan to add some of the following features in next versions:
– SQLite3 database to store settings
– new video filters
– more GPU accelerated video decoding (dxva2, qsv) .
– video mapping
– VR
– playlist
– more…
