Just found this recently and I think it would be best to use <code class="notranslate"

Use ffprobe's -print_format json to parse, and also let ffprobe handle the "file" instead about ffprobe-python HOT 3 OPEN

@Mz49 I just ended up using this.

import json
import subprocess

def _ffprobe(file_path):
    command = (
        'ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams '
        f'{file_path}'
    )
    result = subprocess.run(command.split(), capture_output=True)
    if result.returncode == 0 and file_path.exists():
        return json.loads(result.stdout)
    raise RuntimeError(
        f'FFProbe failed for {file_path}, output: {result.stderr}'
    )

from ffprobe-python.

I'm doing something like this myself in another project and was about to suggest it:

cmd = "ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_streams"
args = shlex.split(cmd)
args.append(info.FILENAME)
ffprobeOutput = subprocess.check_output(args).decode('utf-8')
ffprobeOutput = json.loads(ffprobeOutput)

If it simplifies parsing for you at all

from ffprobe-python.
