[MPlayer-users] mplayer -ss fails on wmv

[Jon Drukman]

Example command line:

mplayer file.wmv  -nosound -vf scale=120:-2 -ssf lgb=1.0 -sws 7 -vo
jpeg:outdir=foo -frames 1

This outputs a single frame from the beginning of the wmv as a jpg.  No problem.
 However, if I add -ss to the command, like so:

mplayer file.wmv -ss 2 -nosound -vf scale=120:-2 -ssf lgb=1.0 -sws 7 -vo
jpeg:outdir=foo -frames 1

I get no jpeg output, and no errors or warnings from mplayer.  The file in
question is longer than 2 seconds, so that isn't the problem.  Bug in mplayer or
just unsupported with wmv, or ?


Here's the output from the second attempt:
