Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

mediainfo.js

This is a JavaScript port of the excellent MediaInfoLib and can run directly in a browser or in Node.js. It is transpiled from C++ source code using Emscripten.

Demo

Try mediainfo.js in your browser: https://mediainfo.js.org

Usage

Browser

You can either use a CDN to include the script file directly in your page or use a JavaScript bundler like webpack.

  • CDN:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/mediainfo.js/dist/mediainfo.min.js"></script>
  • Bundler: npm install mediainfo.js

Be aware that mediainfo.js is a WebAssembly port of MediaInfoLib. Thus it depends on MediaInfoModule.wasm which weighs around 4.2 MiB. The WASM module is loaded automatically and needs to be made available from the same location mediainfo.js is served from. This is the case for the CDN version. If you're using a bundler, you need to take care of this yourself. There are examples for React/webpack and Angular on how to achieve this.

Node.js

Install mediainfo.js from NPM.

$ npm install -g mediainfo.js

You can use it directly from the shell.

$ mediainfo.js /path/to/media.avi

Or use it as a library.

require('mediainfo.js')().then((mediainfo) => {
  // mediainfo ready…
})

Examples

API

MediaInfo(opts, successCallback, errorCallback)

Create an instance of mediainfo.

Defaults: opts = { chunkSize: 256*1024, coverData: false, format: 'object', full: false }

  • chunkSize: Chunk size used by analyzeData (in bytes)
  • coverData: Whether to extract binary cover data (Base64-encoded)
  • format: Format of result value (choices: object, JSON, XML, HTML or text)
  • full: Full information display (all internal tags)
  • locateFile: Optional callback function to override MediaInfo.wasm location. Must return URL/path to file. Helpful if you want to serve MediaInfoModule.wasm from a custom location.
    (url, scriptDirectory) => pathToFile
  • Returns a Promise if no callback is given.
const MediaInfo = require('mediainfo.js')
MediaInfo(opts, callback, errorCallback)

Media files can be several gigabytes in size. The preferred way is to load data in chunks to prevent memory exhaustion. analyzeData is a helper method that facilitates this somewhat cumbersome process.

mediainfo.analyzeData(getSize, readChunk, cb)

Convenience method for analyzing a buffer chunk by chunk.

  • You need to provide two callback functions. They can either return a Promise or directly the value.
    • getSize() - Return total buffer size.
    • readChunk(size, offset) - Read data chunk of size with offset and return an Uint8Array.
  • Returns a Promise if no callback is given.

Low-level methods

The mediainfo object also exposes a number of low-level methods analogous to the MediaInfoLib buffer methods.

close(), inform(), openBufferContinue(data, size), openBufferContinueGotoGet(), openBufferFinalize(), openBufferInit(size, offset)

Build

Install Emscripten preferably using Emscripten SDK.

$ git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk.git
$ cd emsdk
$ ./emsdk install latest
$ ./emsdk activate latest
$ source ./emsdk_env.sh
$ export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/upstream/bin # for wasm-opt

In the project root of mediainfo.js run the following to build.

$ npm install
$ npm run build

Find the resulting files mediainfo.js, mediainfo.min.js and mediainfo.wasm in the dist directory.

Tests

You can run a test suite against the dist build.

$ npm run test
