ffprobe [options] [input_file] -

- -

2 Description

- -

ffprobe gathers information from multimedia streams and prints it in -human- and machine-readable fashion. -

For example it can be used to check the format of the container used -by a multimedia stream and the format and type of each media stream -contained in it. -

If a filename is specified in input, ffprobe will try to open and -probe the file content. If the file cannot be opened or recognized as -a multimedia file, a positive exit code is returned. -

ffprobe may be employed both as a standalone application or in -combination with a textual filter, which may perform more -sophisticated processing, e.g. statistical processing or plotting. -

Options are used to list some of the formats supported by ffprobe or -for specifying which information to display, and for setting how -ffprobe will show it. -

ffprobe output is designed to be easily parsable by a textual filter, -and consists of one or more sections of a form defined by the selected -writer, which is specified by the print_format option. -

Sections may contain other nested sections, and are identified by a -name (which may be shared by other sections), and an unique -name. See the output of sections. -

Metadata tags stored in the container or in the streams are recognized -and printed in the corresponding "FORMAT", "STREAM" or "PROGRAM_STREAM" -section. -

- - -

3 Options

- -

All the numerical options, if not specified otherwise, accept a string -representing a number as input, which may be followed by one of the SI -unit prefixes, for example: ’K’, ’M’, or ’G’. -

If ’i’ is appended to the SI unit prefix, the complete prefix will be -interpreted as a unit prefix for binary multiples, which are based on -powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000. Appending ’B’ to the SI unit -prefix multiplies the value by 8. This allows using, for example: -’KB’, ’MiB’, ’G’ and ’B’ as number suffixes. -

Options which do not take arguments are boolean options, and set the -corresponding value to true. They can be set to false by prefixing -the option name with "no". For example using "-nofoo" -will set the boolean option with name "foo" to false. -

- -

3.1 Stream specifiers

Some options are applied per-stream, e.g. bitrate or codec. Stream specifiers -are used to precisely specify which stream(s) a given option belongs to. -

A stream specifier is a string generally appended to the option name and -separated from it by a colon. E.g. -codec:a:1 ac3 contains the -a:1 stream specifier, which matches the second audio stream. Therefore, it -would select the ac3 codec for the second audio stream. -

A stream specifier can match several streams, so that the option is applied to all -of them. E.g. the stream specifier in -b:a 128k matches all audio -streams. -

An empty stream specifier matches all streams. For example, -codec copy -or -codec: copy would copy all the streams without reencoding. -

Possible forms of stream specifiers are: -

stream_index

Matches the stream with this index. E.g. -threads:1 4 would set the -thread count for the second stream to 4. -

stream_type[:stream_index]

stream_type is one of following: ’v’ or ’V’ for video, ’a’ for audio, ’s’ -for subtitle, ’d’ for data, and ’t’ for attachments. ’v’ matches all video -streams, ’V’ only matches video streams which are not attached pictures, video -thumbnails or cover arts. If stream_index is given, then it matches -stream number stream_index of this type. Otherwise, it matches all -streams of this type. -

p:program_id[:stream_index]

If stream_index is given, then it matches the stream with number stream_index -in the program with the id program_id. Otherwise, it matches all streams in the -program. -

#stream_id or i:stream_id

Match the stream by stream id (e.g. PID in MPEG-TS container). -

m:key[:value]

Matches streams with the metadata tag key having the specified value. If -value is not given, matches streams that contain the given tag with any -value. -

u

Matches streams with usable configuration, the codec must be defined and the -essential information such as video dimension or audio sample rate must be present. -

Note that in ffmpeg, matching by metadata will only work properly for -input files. -

- - -

3.2 Generic options

- -

These options are shared amongst the ff* tools. -

-L

Show license. -

-h, -?, -help, --help [arg]

Show help. An optional parameter may be specified to print help about a specific -item. If no argument is specified, only basic (non advanced) tool -options are shown. -

Possible values of arg are: -

long: Print advanced tool options in addition to the basic tool options. -
-
full: Print complete list of options, including shared and private options -for encoders, decoders, demuxers, muxers, filters, etc. -
-
decoder=decoder_name: Print detailed information about the decoder named decoder_name. Use the --decoders option to get a list of all decoders. -
-
encoder=encoder_name: Print detailed information about the encoder named encoder_name. Use the --encoders option to get a list of all encoders. -
-
demuxer=demuxer_name: Print detailed information about the demuxer named demuxer_name. Use the --formats option to get a list of all demuxers and muxers. -
-
muxer=muxer_name: Print detailed information about the muxer named muxer_name. Use the --formats option to get a list of all muxers and demuxers. -
-

Show all codecs known to libavcodec. -

Note that the term ’codec’ is used throughout this documentation as a shortcut -for what is more correctly called a media bitstream format. -

-decoders

Show available decoders. -

-encoders

Show all available encoders. -

-bsfs

Show available bitstream filters. -

-protocols

Show available protocols. -

-filters

Show available libavfilter filters. -

-layouts

Show channel names and standard channel layouts. -

-colors

Show recognized color names. -

-sources device[,opt1=val1[,opt2=val2]...]

Show autodetected sources of the intput device. -Some devices may provide system-dependent source names that cannot be autodetected. -The returned list cannot be assumed to be always complete. -

ffmpeg -sources pulse,server=192.168.0.4
-

- -

-sinks device[,opt1=val1[,opt2=val2]...]

Show autodetected sinks of the output device. -Some devices may provide system-dependent sink names that cannot be autodetected. -The returned list cannot be assumed to be always complete. -

ffmpeg -sinks pulse,server=192.168.0.4
-

- -

-loglevel [repeat+]loglevel | -v [repeat+]loglevel

Set the logging level used by the library. -Adding "repeat+" indicates that repeated log output should not be compressed -to the first line and the "Last message repeated n times" line will be -omitted. "repeat" can also be used alone. -If "repeat" is used alone, and with no prior loglevel set, the default -loglevel will be used. If multiple loglevel parameters are given, using -’repeat’ will not change the loglevel. -loglevel is a string or a number containing one of the following values: -

‘quiet, -8’: Show nothing at all; be silent. -
‘panic, 0’: Only show fatal errors which could lead the process to crash, such as -an assertion failure. This is not currently used for anything. -
‘fatal, 8’: Only show fatal errors. These are errors after which the process absolutely -cannot continue. -
‘error, 16’: Show all errors, including ones which can be recovered from. -
‘warning, 24’: Show all warnings and errors. Any message related to possibly -incorrect or unexpected events will be shown. -
‘info, 32’: Show informative messages during processing. This is in addition to -warnings and errors. This is the default value. -
‘verbose, 40’: Same as info, except more verbose. -
‘debug, 48’: Show everything, including debugging information. -
‘trace, 56’

- -

By default the program logs to stderr. If coloring is supported by the -terminal, colors are used to mark errors and warnings. Log coloring -can be disabled setting the environment variable -AV_LOG_FORCE_NOCOLOR or NO_COLOR, or can be forced setting -the environment variable AV_LOG_FORCE_COLOR. -The use of the environment variable NO_COLOR is deprecated and -will be dropped in a future FFmpeg version. -

-report

Dump full command line and console output to a file named -program-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log in the current -directory. -This file can be useful for bug reports. -It also implies -loglevel verbose. -

Setting the environment variable FFREPORT to any value has the -same effect. If the value is a ’:’-separated key=value sequence, these -options will affect the report; option values must be escaped if they -contain special characters or the options delimiter ’:’ (see the -“Quoting and escaping” section in the ffmpeg-utils manual). -

The following options are recognized: -

file: set the file name to use for the report; %p is expanded to the name -of the program, %t is expanded to a timestamp, %% is expanded -to a plain % -
level: set the log verbosity level using a numerical value (see -loglevel). -

- -

For example, to output a report to a file named ffreport.log -using a log level of 32 (alias for log level info): -

FFREPORT=file=ffreport.log:level=32 ffmpeg -i input output
-

- -

Errors in parsing the environment variable are not fatal, and will not -appear in the report. -

-hide_banner

Suppress printing banner. -

All FFmpeg tools will normally show a copyright notice, build options -and library versions. This option can be used to suppress printing -this information. -

-cpuflags flags (global)

Allows setting and clearing cpu flags. This option is intended -for testing. Do not use it unless you know what you’re doing. -

ffmpeg -cpuflags -sse+mmx ...
-ffmpeg -cpuflags mmx ...

-opencl_bench

This option is used to benchmark all available OpenCL devices and print the -results. This option is only available when FFmpeg has been compiled with ---enable-opencl. -

When FFmpeg is configured with --enable-opencl, the options for the -global OpenCL context are set via -opencl_options. See the -"OpenCL Options" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual for the complete list of -supported options. Amongst others, these options include the ability to select -a specific platform and device to run the OpenCL code on. By default, FFmpeg -will run on the first device of the first platform. While the options for the -global OpenCL context provide flexibility to the user in selecting the OpenCL -device of their choice, most users would probably want to select the fastest -OpenCL device for their system. -

This option assists the selection of the most efficient configuration by -identifying the appropriate device for the user’s system. The built-in -benchmark is run on all the OpenCL devices and the performance is measured for -each device. The devices in the results list are sorted based on their -performance with the fastest device listed first. The user can subsequently -invoke ffmpeg using the device deemed most appropriate via --opencl_options to obtain the best performance for the OpenCL -accelerated code. -

Typical usage to use the fastest OpenCL device involve the following steps. -

Run the command: -

ffmpeg -opencl_bench
-

Note down the platform ID (pidx) and device ID (didx) of the first -i.e. fastest device in the list. -Select the platform and device using the command: -

ffmpeg -opencl_options platform_idx=pidx:device_idx=didx ...
-

- -

-opencl_options options (global)

Set OpenCL environment options. This option is only available when -FFmpeg has been compiled with --enable-opencl. -

options must be a list of key=value option pairs -separated by ’:’. See the “OpenCL Options” section in the -ffmpeg-utils manual for the list of supported options. -

- - -

3.3 AVOptions

- -

These options are provided directly by the libavformat, libavdevice and -libavcodec libraries. To see the list of available AVOptions, use the --help option. They are separated into two categories: -

generic: These options can be set for any container, codec or device. Generic options -are listed under AVFormatContext options for containers/devices and under -AVCodecContext options for codecs. -
private: These options are specific to the given container, device or codec. Private -options are listed under their corresponding containers/devices/codecs. -

- -

For example to write an ID3v2.3 header instead of a default ID3v2.4 to -an MP3 file, use the id3v2_version private option of the MP3 -muxer: -

ffmpeg -i input.flac -id3v2_version 3 out.mp3
-

- -

All codec AVOptions are per-stream, and thus a stream specifier -should be attached to them. -

Note: the -nooption syntax cannot be used for boolean -AVOptions, use -option 0/-option 1. -

Note: the old undocumented way of specifying per-stream AVOptions by -prepending v/a/s to the options name is now obsolete and will be -removed soon. -

- -

3.4 Main options

- -

-f format

Force format to use. -

-unit

Show the unit of the displayed values. -

-prefix

Use SI prefixes for the displayed values. -Unless the "-byte_binary_prefix" option is used all the prefixes -are decimal. -

-byte_binary_prefix

Force the use of binary prefixes for byte values. -

-sexagesimal

Use sexagesimal format HH:MM:SS.MICROSECONDS for time values. -

-pretty

Prettify the format of the displayed values, it corresponds to the -options "-unit -prefix -byte_binary_prefix -sexagesimal". -

-of, -print_format writer_name[=writer_options]

Set the output printing format. -

writer_name specifies the name of the writer, and -writer_options specifies the options to be passed to the writer. -

For example for printing the output in JSON format, specify: -

-print_format json
-

- -

For more details on the available output printing formats, see the -Writers section below. -

-sections

Print sections structure and section information, and exit. The output -is not meant to be parsed by a machine. -

-select_streams stream_specifier

Select only the streams specified by stream_specifier. This -option affects only the options related to streams -(e.g. show_streams, show_packets, etc.). -

For example to show only audio streams, you can use the command: -

ffprobe -show_streams -select_streams a INPUT
-

- -

To show only video packets belonging to the video stream with index 1: -

ffprobe -show_packets -select_streams v:1 INPUT
-

- -

-show_data

Show payload data, as a hexadecimal and ASCII dump. Coupled with --show_packets, it will dump the packets’ data. Coupled with --show_streams, it will dump the codec extradata. -

The dump is printed as the "data" field. It may contain newlines. -

-show_data_hash algorithm

Show a hash of payload data, for packets with -show_packets and for -codec extradata with -show_streams. -

-show_error

Show information about the error found when trying to probe the input. -

The error information is printed within a section with name "ERROR". -

-show_format

Show information about the container format of the input multimedia -stream. -

All the container format information is printed within a section with -name "FORMAT". -

-show_format_entry name

Like -show_format, but only prints the specified entry of the -container format information, rather than all. This option may be given more -than once, then all specified entries will be shown. -

This option is deprecated, use show_entries instead. -

-show_entries section_entries

Set list of entries to show. -

Entries are specified according to the following -syntax. section_entries contains a list of section entries -separated by :. Each section entry is composed by a section -name (or unique name), optionally followed by a list of entries local -to that section, separated by ,. -

If section name is specified but is followed by no =, all -entries are printed to output, together with all the contained -sections. Otherwise only the entries specified in the local section -entries list are printed. In particular, if = is specified but -the list of local entries is empty, then no entries will be shown for -that section. -

Note that the order of specification of the local section entries is -not honored in the output, and the usual display order will be -retained. -

The formal syntax is given by: -

LOCAL_SECTION_ENTRIES ::= SECTION_ENTRY_NAME[,LOCAL_SECTION_ENTRIES]
-SECTION_ENTRY         ::= SECTION_NAME[=[LOCAL_SECTION_ENTRIES]]
-SECTION_ENTRIES       ::= SECTION_ENTRY[:SECTION_ENTRIES]
-

- -

For example, to show only the index and type of each stream, and the PTS -time, duration time, and stream index of the packets, you can specify -the argument: -

packet=pts_time,duration_time,stream_index : stream=index,codec_type
-

- -

To show all the entries in the section "format", but only the codec -type in the section "stream", specify the argument: -

format : stream=codec_type
-

- -

To show all the tags in the stream and format sections: -

stream_tags : format_tags
-

- -

To show only the title tag (if available) in the stream -sections: -

stream_tags=title
-

- -

-show_packets

Show information about each packet contained in the input multimedia -stream. -

The information for each single packet is printed within a dedicated -section with name "PACKET". -

-show_frames

Show information about each frame and subtitle contained in the input -multimedia stream. -

The information for each single frame is printed within a dedicated -section with name "FRAME" or "SUBTITLE". -

-show_streams

Show information about each media stream contained in the input -multimedia stream. -

Each media stream information is printed within a dedicated section -with name "STREAM". -

-show_programs

Show information about programs and their streams contained in the input -multimedia stream. -

Each media stream information is printed within a dedicated section -with name "PROGRAM_STREAM". -

-show_chapters

Show information about chapters stored in the format. -

Each chapter is printed within a dedicated section with name "CHAPTER". -

-count_frames

Count the number of frames per stream and report it in the -corresponding stream section. -

-count_packets

Count the number of packets per stream and report it in the -corresponding stream section. -

-read_intervals read_intervals

Read only the specified intervals. read_intervals must be a -sequence of interval specifications separated by ",". -ffprobe will seek to the interval starting point, and will -continue reading from that. -

Each interval is specified by two optional parts, separated by "%". -

The first part specifies the interval start position. It is -interpreted as an abolute position, or as a relative offset from the -current position if it is preceded by the "+" character. If this first -part is not specified, no seeking will be performed when reading this -interval. -

The second part specifies the interval end position. It is interpreted -as an absolute position, or as a relative offset from the current -position if it is preceded by the "+" character. If the offset -specification starts with "#", it is interpreted as the number of -packets to read (not including the flushing packets) from the interval -start. If no second part is specified, the program will read until the -end of the input. -

Note that seeking is not accurate, thus the actual interval start -point may be different from the specified position. Also, when an -interval duration is specified, the absolute end time will be computed -by adding the duration to the interval start point found by seeking -the file, rather than to the specified start value. -

The formal syntax is given by: -

INTERVAL  ::= [START|+START_OFFSET][%[END|+END_OFFSET]]
-INTERVALS ::= INTERVAL[,INTERVALS]
-

- -

A few examples follow. -

Seek to time 10, read packets until 20 seconds after the found seek -point, then seek to position 01:30 (1 minute and thirty -seconds) and read packets until position 01:45. -
-
```
10%+20,01:30%01:45
-
```
- -
Read only 42 packets after seeking to position 01:23: -
-
```
01:23%+#42
-
```
- -
Read only the first 20 seconds from the start: -
-
```
%+20
-
```
- -
Read from the start until position 02:30: -
-
```
%02:30
-
```
-

- -

-show_private_data, -private

Show private data, that is data depending on the format of the -particular shown element. -This option is enabled by default, but you may need to disable it -for specific uses, for example when creating XSD-compliant XML output. -

-show_program_version

Show information related to program version. -

Version information is printed within a section with name -"PROGRAM_VERSION". -

-show_library_versions

Show information related to library versions. -

Version information for each library is printed within a section with -name "LIBRARY_VERSION". -

-show_versions

Show information related to program and library versions. This is the -equivalent of setting both -show_program_version and --show_library_versions options. -

-show_pixel_formats

Show information about all pixel formats supported by FFmpeg. -

Pixel format information for each format is printed within a section -with name "PIXEL_FORMAT". -

-bitexact

Force bitexact output, useful to produce output which is not dependent -on the specific build. -

-i input_file

Read input_file. -

- - -

4 Writers

- -

A writer defines the output format adopted by ffprobe, and will be -used for printing all the parts of the output. -

A writer may accept one or more arguments, which specify the options -to adopt. The options are specified as a list of key=value -pairs, separated by ":". -

All writers support the following options: -

string_validation, sv

Set string validation mode. -

The following values are accepted. -

‘fail’: The writer will fail immediately in case an invalid string (UTF-8) -sequence or code point is found in the input. This is especially -useful to validate input metadata. -
-
‘ignore’: Any validation error will be ignored. This will result in possibly -broken output, especially with the json or xml writer. -
-
‘replace’: The writer will substitute invalid UTF-8 sequences or code points with -the string specified with the string_validation_replacement. -

- -

Default value is ‘replace’. -

string_validation_replacement, svr

Set replacement string to use in case string_validation is -set to ‘replace’. -

In case the option is not specified, the writer will assume the empty -string, that is it will remove the invalid sequences from the input -strings. -

- -

A description of the currently available writers follows. -

- -

4.1 default

Default format. -

Print each section in the form: -

[SECTION]
-key1=val1
-...
-keyN=valN
-[/SECTION]
-

- -

Metadata tags are printed as a line in the corresponding FORMAT, STREAM or -PROGRAM_STREAM section, and are prefixed by the string "TAG:". -

A description of the accepted options follows. -

nokey, nk: If set to 1 specify not to print the key of each field. Default value -is 0. -
-
noprint_wrappers, nw: If set to 1 specify not to print the section header and footer. -Default value is 0. -

- - -

4.2 compact, csv

Compact and CSV format. -

The csv writer is equivalent to compact, but supports -different defaults. -

Each section is printed on a single line. -If no option is specifid, the output has the form: -

section|key1=val1| ... |keyN=valN
-

- -

Metadata tags are printed in the corresponding "format" or "stream" -section. A metadata tag key, if printed, is prefixed by the string -"tag:". -

The description of the accepted options follows. -

item_sep, s

Specify the character to use for separating fields in the output line. -It must be a single printable character, it is "|" by default ("," for -the csv writer). -

nokey, nk

If set to 1 specify not to print the key of each field. Its default -value is 0 (1 for the csv writer). -

escape, e

Set the escape mode to use, default to "c" ("csv" for the csv -writer). -

It can assume one of the following values: -

c: Perform C-like escaping. Strings containing a newline (‘\n’), carriage -return (‘\r’), a tab (‘\t’), a form feed (‘\f’), the escaping -character (‘\’) or the item separator character SEP are escaped -using C-like fashioned escaping, so that a newline is converted to the -sequence ‘\n’, a carriage return to ‘\r’, ‘\’ to ‘\\’ and -the separator SEP is converted to ‘\SEP’. -
-
csv: Perform CSV-like escaping, as described in RFC4180. Strings -containing a newline (‘\n’), a carriage return (‘\r’), a double quote -(‘"’), or SEP are enclosed in double-quotes. -
-
none: Perform no escaping. -

- -

print_section, p

Print the section name at the begin of each line if the value is -1, disable it with value set to 0. Default value is -1. -

- - -

4.3 flat

Flat format. -

A free-form output where each line contains an explicit key=value, such as -"streams.stream.3.tags.foo=bar". The output is shell escaped, so it can be -directly embedded in sh scripts as long as the separator character is an -alphanumeric character or an underscore (see sep_char option). -

The description of the accepted options follows. -

sep_char, s

Separator character used to separate the chapter, the section name, IDs and -potential tags in the printed field key. -

Default value is ‘.’. -

hierarchical, h

Specify if the section name specification should be hierarchical. If -set to 1, and if there is more than one section in the current -chapter, the section name will be prefixed by the name of the -chapter. A value of 0 will disable this behavior. -

Default value is 1. -

- - -

4.4 ini

INI format output. -

Print output in an INI based format. -

The following conventions are adopted: -

all key and values are UTF-8 -
‘.’ is the subgroup separator -
newline, ‘\t’, ‘\f’, ‘\b’ and the following characters are -escaped -
‘\’ is the escape character -
‘#’ is the comment indicator -
‘=’ is the key/value separator -
‘:’ is not used but usually parsed as key/value separator -

- -

This writer accepts options as a list of key=value pairs, -separated by ‘:’. -

The description of the accepted options follows. -

hierarchical, h

Default value is 1. -

- - -

4.5 json

JSON based format. -

Each section is printed using JSON notation. -

The description of the accepted options follows. -

compact, c: If set to 1 enable compact output, that is each section will be -printed on a single line. Default value is 0. -

- -

For more information about JSON, see http://www.json.org/. -

- -

4.6 xml

XML based format. -

The XML output is described in the XML schema description file -ffprobe.xsd installed in the FFmpeg datadir. -

An updated version of the schema can be retrieved at the url -http://www.ffmpeg.org/schema/ffprobe.xsd, which redirects to the -latest schema committed into the FFmpeg development source code tree. -

Note that the output issued will be compliant to the -ffprobe.xsd schema only when no special global output options -(unit, prefix, byte_binary_prefix, -sexagesimal etc.) are specified. -

The description of the accepted options follows. -

fully_qualified, q: If set to 1 specify if the output should be fully qualified. Default -value is 0. -This is required for generating an XML file which can be validated -through an XSD file. -
-
xsd_compliant, x: If set to 1 perform more checks for ensuring that the output is XSD -compliant. Default value is 0. -This option automatically sets fully_qualified to 1. -

- -

For more information about the XML format, see -http://www.w3.org/XML/. -

- -

5 Timecode

- -

ffprobe supports Timecode extraction: -

MPEG1/2 timecode is extracted from the GOP, and is available in the video -stream details (-show_streams, see timecode). - -
MOV timecode is extracted from tmcd track, so is available in the tmcd -stream metadata (-show_streams, see TAG:timecode). - -
DV, GXF and AVI timecodes are available in format metadata -(-show_format, see TAG:timecode). - -
