ffmpeg - How to display current time with the ffplay.exe?

I need to play video files by the ffplay (or the ffmpeg if is it possible) and display current play time.

Please tell me how can I see the current play time (as H:M:S) with ffplay?

OS = MS Windows 7

Answer

ffplay -vf "drawtext=text='%{pts\:hms}':box=1:x=(w-tw)/2:y=h-(2*lh)" input.mp4

  If your build does not support fontconfig, then you'll have to add the fontfile option with the path to the font. See drawtext filter docs for more info.

  In Windows you may have to first set the FONTCONFIG_PATH variable (and/or other related variables).

  You can add boxborderw=4 if you want more padding in the box, but you'll need a relatively recent build. See the FFmpeg Download page.
