|
|
|
<p>ffprobe gathers information from multimedia streams and prints it in
|
|
human- and machine-readable fashion.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If a url is specified in input, ffprobe will try to open and
|
|
probe the url content. If the url cannot be opened or recognized as
|
|
a multimedia file, a positive exit code is returned.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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 <samp>print_format</samp> option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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 <samp>sections</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Metadata tags stored in the container or in the streams are recognized
|
|
and printed in the corresponding "FORMAT", "STREAM" or "PROGRAM_STREAM"
|
|
section.

|
|
|
|
<p>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’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.

|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A stream specifier is a string generally appended to the option name and
|
|
separated from it by a colon. E.g. <code>-codec:a:1 ac3</code> contains the
|
|
<code>a:1</code> stream specifier, which matches the second audio stream. Therefore, it
|
|
would select the ac3 codec for the second audio stream.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A stream specifier can match several streams, so that the option is applied to all
|
|
of them. E.g. the stream specifier in <code>-b:a 128k</code> matches all audio
|
|
streams.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>An empty stream specifier matches all streams. For example, <code>-codec copy</code>
|
|
or <code>-codec: copy</code> would copy all the streams without reencoding.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Possible forms of stream specifiers are:
|
|
</p><dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><samp><var>stream_index</var></samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Matches the stream with this index. E.g. <code>-threads:1 4</code> would set the

thread count for the second stream to 4.

<dd><p><var>stream_type</var> is one of following: ’v’ or ’V’ for video, ’a’ for audio, ’s’

|
streams, ’V’ only matches video streams which are not attached pictures, video
|
|
thumbnails or cover arts. If <var>stream_index</var> is given, then it matches

|
|
<dd><p>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
|
|
<code>--enable-opencl</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When FFmpeg is configured with <code>--enable-opencl</code>, the options for the
|
|
global OpenCL context are set via <samp>-opencl_options</samp>. 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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 <code>ffmpeg</code> using the device deemed most appropriate via
|
|
<samp>-opencl_options</samp> to obtain the best performance for the OpenCL
|
|
accelerated code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Typical usage to use the fastest OpenCL device involve the following steps.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Run the command:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -opencl_bench
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>Note down the platform ID (<var>pidx</var>) and device ID (<var>didx</var>) of the first
|
|
i.e. fastest device in the list.
|
|
Select the platform and device using the command:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -opencl_options platform_idx=<var>pidx</var>:device_idx=<var>didx</var> ...

<p>These options are provided directly by the libavformat, libavdevice and

|
|
<p>For example to write an ID3v2.3 header instead of a default ID3v2.4 to

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

</p>
|
|
<p>Note: the <samp>-nooption</samp> syntax cannot be used for boolean
|
|
AVOptions, use <samp>-option 0</samp>/<samp>-option 1</samp>.

|
part is not specified, no seeking will be performed when reading this

interval.

</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.

<p>A writer defines the output format adopted by <code>ffprobe</code>, and will be
|
|
used for printing all the parts of the output.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A writer may accept one or more arguments, which specify the options
|
|
to adopt. The options are specified as a list of <var>key</var>=<var>value</var>
|
|
pairs, separated by ":".
|
|
</p>

<p>All writers support the following options:
