get-video-metadata

This library uses ffprobe-CLI-Tool to extract data (fps, aspect-ratio, size, duration, …) from any video on your hard drive.

Installation

1. Install ffmpeg (we only need ffprobe, ffprobe is included in ffmpeg). The library will use the CMD-Library by default, unless the FFPROBE_EXEC environment variable is specified.
2. Install get-video-metadata from NPM: npm i --save get-video-metadata
3. Enjoy 🎉

Usage

import getVideoMetadata from "get-video-metadata";

getVideoMetadata('./test.mp4').then(console.log)
/* Output: 
{
  codec: {
    name: 'h264',
    longName: 'H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10',
    type: 'video'
  },
  aspectRatio: '16:9',
  width: '1280',
  height: '720',
  frameRate: 30,
  bitRate: '2477866',
  duration: '10.933333'
}
*/

Note: This also work with image files, but this library was designed for videos. Please also note that code.type will always be "video", as this is the way we are telling ffprobe to parse the video.
