This command line works fine and I have used it many times.
It shouldn't, because you forgot a "-" after "-f nut".

oops, sorry I forgot to type that "-" in the email. You are right that it doesn't work without it.



But I don't know what's the meaning of the - character after ffplay.
Input or output. An url or a file-path. And in this case; stdout and stdin. 
FFmpeg's stdout is piped to FFplay's stdin.
I'm surprised you didn't know.

Is the "-" at the end an (undocumented) option of FFplay, or is it a batch file operator?

Michael
