There is no slider / progression bar / seek bar

ffplay has no on-screen-display (OSD) bar for seeking.

Use mpv intead

mpv is like a "super" ffplay, has an OSD bar, and can use the same filters as ffplay. mpv is a real player. ffplay is more of an example or a proof-of-concept.

Available controls for ffplay

From the ffplay documentation:

  • s - Step to the next frame. Pause if the stream is not already paused, step to the next video frame, and pause.

  • left/right - Seek backward/forward 10 seconds.

  • down/up - Seek backward/forward 1 minute.

  • Page Down/Page Up - Seek to the previous/next chapter. If there are no chapters seek backward/forward 10 minutes.

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