Basic usage
To get a quick the quick data on a video file:
ctx, cancelFn := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancelFn()
data, err := ffprobe.ProbeURL(ctx, "/path/to/file.mp4")
if err != nil {
log.Panicf("Error getting data: %v", err)
}To get the ffprobe data for a video file that is accessible via HTTP, you can use the same command, but with an HTTP URL.
To get the data of a file you have an io.Reader for, use:
ctx, cancelFn := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancelFn()
fileReader, err := os.Open("/path/to/file.mp4")
if err != nil {
log.Panicf("Error opening test file: %v", err)
}
data, err := ffprobe.ProbeReader(ctx, fileReader)
if err != nil {
log.Panicf("Error getting data: %v", err)
}
