fileviewer.exe [video_file_or_url] [settings_file]
fileviewer.exe --help| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
video_file_or_url | Path to a local video file, or an http/https URL to download |
settings_file | Path to settings.txt (optional; auto-downloaded for URLs) |
The file viewer loads video from disk files or web downloads rather than shared memory. It decodes all frames into a local buffer for instant random-access navigation. It provides the same grid line overlay and distance measurement as the live viewer, making it useful for:
# Local file
fileviewer.exe videos\jump_001.mp4
# Local file with specific settings
fileviewer.exe videos\jump_001.mp4 my_settings.txt
# Download from web
fileviewer.exe https://www.thehansens.com/tournament/jump_001.mp4If no argument is given, the file viewer presents a standard Windows file-open dialog where you can browse for a video file.
When given a URL, the file viewer downloads the video file to a temporary directory. It also attempts to download a companion settings.txt from the same web directory, so that grid line calibration data is available for distance measurement.
Same as the live viewer:
