# get-video-metadata



♥ Sponsor or ★ Star


This library uses [ffprobe](https://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html)-CLI-Tool to extract data (fps, aspect-ratio, size, duration,

…) from any video on your hard drive.

## Installation

1. Install [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) (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

```javascript

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.
