if you mean kill -SIGHUP ffplay

in something like below...
It does not work

ffplay just waits

#!/bin/bash

###--- the dir where the mp4 are
Src=/home/jshupert/Videos/t

etn=mp4

cd $Src
for f in *.$etn ; do

###################################---------  play 1  for 5 sec from top

ffplay -t 00:00:05.000 $Src/$f
# at this point ffplay just sits and waits
kill -SIGHUP ffplay


###################################---------  play 2  for 5 sec from 1 min
deep
ffplay -ss 00:01:00.000 -t 00:00:05.000 $Src/$f


kill -SIGHUP ffplay

done
