ffmpeg - ffplay -noborder option missing argument

Question

If I do:

ffplay -i vid.mp4

ffplay works fine, however if I try the borderless option:

ffplay -noborder -i vid.mp4

Failed to set value '-i' for option 'noborder': Option not found

Trying the -noborder option at the end of the command:

ffplay -i vid.mp4 -noborder

Missing argument for option 'noborder'

Any clue on the argument -noborder is waiting for or why isn't this working?

This is the ffplay version I am using:

Answer 1

-noborder was added in 2017, but the FFmpeg 2.8 release branch is from 2015. You need FFmpeg 3.4 or newer for -noborder.

You can follow step-by-step compile instructions that you can copy and paste.
