I need a command to play a VR 3D SBS video stream using ffplay without splitting it on two sides

To play a VR 3D SBS (Side-by-Side) video stream using ffplay without splitting it on two sides, you can use the following command:

ffplay -fflags +genpts -i input_file -vf "split[a][b];[a]crop=iw/2:ih:0:0[left];[b]crop=iw/2:ih:iw/2:0[right];[left][right]hstack"

Make sure to replace input_file with the path to your actual video file.

Explanation of the command:

• -fflags +genpts ensures proper synchronization of audio and video.
• -i input_file specifies the input video file.
• -vf "split[a][b];[a]crop=iw/2:ih:0:0[left];[b]crop=iw/2:ih:iw/2:0[right];[left][right]hstack" is the filtergraph used for video processing.
  • split[a][b] splits the video into two streams.
  • [a]crop=iw/2:ih:0:0[left] crops the left half of the video.
  • [b]crop=iw/2:ih:iw/2:0[right] crops the right half of the video.
  • [left][right]hstack horizontally stacks the left and right cropped videos.

This command will play the VR 3D SBS video stream in a single display without splitting it on two sides
