<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>If no output is specified as output with <samp>o</samp> ffprobe will write
to stdout.
</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 &quot;FORMAT&quot;, &quot;STREAM&quot; or &quot;PROGRAM_STREAM&quot;
section.
</p>

<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: &rsquo;K&rsquo;, &rsquo;M&rsquo;, or &rsquo;G&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>If &rsquo;i&rsquo; 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 &rsquo;B&rsquo; to the SI unit
prefix multiplies the value by 8. This allows using, for example:
&rsquo;KB&rsquo;, &rsquo;MiB&rsquo;, &rsquo;G&rsquo; and &rsquo;B&rsquo; 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 &quot;no&quot;. For example using &quot;-nofoo&quot;
will set the boolean option with name &quot;foo&quot; 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><span><samp><var>stream_index</var></samp></span></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. If <var>stream_index</var> is used as an
additional stream specifier (see below), then it selects stream number
<var>stream_index</var> from the matching streams. Stream numbering is based on the
order of the streams as detected by libavformat except when a program ID is
also specified. In this case it is based on the ordering of the streams in the
program.
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp><var>stream_type</var>[:<var>additional_stream_specifier</var>]</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p><var>stream_type</var> is one of following: &rsquo;v&rsquo; or &rsquo;V&rsquo; for video, &rsquo;a&rsquo; for audio, &rsquo;s&rsquo;
for subtitle, &rsquo;d&rsquo; for data, and &rsquo;t&rsquo; for attachments. &rsquo;v&rsquo; matches all video
streams, &rsquo;V&rsquo; only matches video streams which are not attached pictures, video
thumbnails or cover arts. If <var>additional_stream_specifier</var> is used, then
it matches streams which both have this type and match the
<var>additional_stream_specifier</var>. Otherwise, it matches all streams of the
specified type.
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp>p:<var>program_id</var>[:<var>additional_stream_specifier</var>]</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Matches streams which are in the program with the id <var>program_id</var>. If
<var>additional_stream_specifier</var> is used, then it matches streams which both
are part of the program and match the <var>additional_stream_specifier</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>#<var>stream_id</var> or i:<var>stream_id</var></samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Match the stream by stream id (e.g. PID in MPEG-TS container).
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp>m:<var>key</var>[:<var>value</var>]</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Matches streams with the metadata tag <var>key</var> having the specified value. If
<var>value</var> is not given, matches streams that contain the given tag with any
value.
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp>u</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>
<p>Note that in <code>ffmpeg</code>, matching by metadata will only work properly for
input files.

<dt><span><samp>-loglevel [<var>flags</var>+]<var>loglevel</var> | -v [<var>flags</var>+]<var>loglevel</var></samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set logging level and flags used by the library.
</p>
<p>The optional <var>flags</var> prefix can consist of the following values:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>repeat</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Indicates that repeated log output should not be compressed to the first line
and the &quot;Last message repeated n times&quot; line will be omitted.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>level</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Indicates that log output should add a <code>[level]</code> prefix to each message
line. This can be used as an alternative to log coloring, e.g. when dumping the
log to file.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Flags can also be used alone by adding a &rsquo;+&rsquo;/&rsquo;-&rsquo; prefix to set/reset a single
flag without affecting other <var>flags</var> or changing <var>loglevel</var>. When
setting both <var>flags</var> and <var>loglevel</var>, a &rsquo;+&rsquo; separator is expected
between the last <var>flags</var> value and before <var>loglevel</var>.
</p>
<p><var>loglevel</var> is a string or a number containing one of the following values:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>quiet, -8</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Show nothing at all; be silent.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>panic, 0</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Only show fatal errors which could lead the process to crash, such as
an assertion failure. This is not currently used for anything.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>fatal, 8</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Only show fatal errors. These are errors after which the process absolutely
cannot continue.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>error, 16</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Show all errors, including ones which can be recovered from.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>warning, 24</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Show all warnings and errors. Any message related to possibly
incorrect or unexpected events will be shown.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>info, 32</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Show informative messages during processing. This is in addition to
warnings and errors. This is the default value.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>verbose, 40</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Same as <code>info</code>, except more verbose.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>debug, 48</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
<dd><p>Show everything, including debugging information.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>&lsquo;<samp>trace, 56</samp>&rsquo;</span></dt>
</dl>
<p>For example to enable repeated log output, add the <code>level</code> prefix, and set
<var>loglevel</var> to <code>verbose</code>:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -loglevel repeat+level+verbose -i input output
</pre></div>
<p>Another example that enables repeated log output without affecting current
state of <code>level</code> prefix flag or <var>loglevel</var>:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg [...] -loglevel +repeat
</pre></div>
<p>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
<code>AV_LOG_FORCE_NOCOLOR</code>, or can be forced setting
the environment variable <code>AV_LOG_FORCE_COLOR</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>-report</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Dump full command line and log output to a file named
<code><var>program</var>-<var>YYYYMMDD</var>-<var>HHMMSS</var>.log</code> in the current
directory.
This file can be useful for bug reports.
It also implies <code>-loglevel debug</code>.
</p>
<p>Setting the environment variable <code>FFREPORT</code> to any value has the
same effect. If the value is a &rsquo;:&rsquo;-separated key=value sequence, these
options will affect the report; option values must be escaped if they
contain special characters or the options delimiter &rsquo;:&rsquo; (see the
&ldquo;Quoting and escaping&rdquo; section in the ffmpeg-utils manual).
</p>
<p>The following options are recognized:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>file</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>set the file name to use for the report; <code>%p</code> is expanded to the name
of the program, <code>%t</code> is expanded to a timestamp, <code>%%</code> is expanded
to a plain <code>%</code>
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp>level</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>set the log verbosity level using a numerical value (see <code>-loglevel</code>).
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example, to output a report to a file named <samp>ffreport.log</samp>
using a log level of <code>32</code> (alias for log level <code>info</code>):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">FFREPORT=file=ffreport.log:level=32 ffmpeg -i input output
</pre></div>
<p>Errors in parsing the environment variable are not fatal, and will not
appear in the report.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>-hide_banner</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Suppress printing banner.
</p>
<p>All FFmpeg tools will normally show a copyright notice, build options
and library versions. This option can be used to suppress printing
this information.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>-cpuflags flags (<em>global</em>)</samp></span></dt>

<p>These options are provided directly by the libavformat, libavdevice and
libavcodec libraries. To see the list of available AVOptions, use the
<samp>-help</samp> option. They are separated into two categories:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>generic</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp>private</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>These options are specific to the given container, device or codec. Private
options are listed under their corresponding containers/devices/codecs.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example to write an ID3v2.3 header instead of a default ID3v2.4 to
an MP3 file, use the <samp>id3v2_version</samp> private option of the MP3
muxer:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i input.flac -id3v2_version 3 out.mp3
</pre></div>
<p>All codec AVOptions are per-stream, and thus a stream specifier
should be attached to them:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i multichannel.mxf -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:0 -c:a:0 ac3 -b:a:0 640k -ac:a:1 2 -c:a:1 aac -b:2 128k out.mp4
</pre></div>
<p>In the above example, a multichannel audio stream is mapped twice for output.
The first instance is encoded with codec ac3 and bitrate 640k.
The second instance is downmixed to 2 channels and encoded with codec aac. A bitrate of 128k is specified for it using
absolute index of the output stream.
</p>
<p>Note: the <samp>-nooption</samp> syntax cannot be used for boolean
AVOptions, use <samp>-option 0</samp>/<samp>-option 1</samp>.
</p>
<p>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.

<p>Read only the specified intervals. <var>read_intervals</var> must be a
sequence of interval specifications separated by &quot;,&quot;.
<code>ffprobe</code> will seek to the interval starting point, and will
continue reading from that.
</p>
<p>Each interval is specified by two optional parts, separated by &quot;%&quot;.
</p>
<p>The first part specifies the interval start position. It is
interpreted as an absolute position, or as a relative offset from the
current position if it is preceded by the &quot;+&quot; character. If this first
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 &quot;+&quot; character. If the offset
specification starts with &quot;#&quot;, 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>
<p>The formal syntax is given by:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"><var>INTERVAL</var> ::= [<var>START</var>|+<var>START_OFFSET</var>][%[<var>END</var>|+<var>END_OFFSET</var>]]

point, then seek to position <code>01:30</code> (1 minute and thirty

<p>XML based format.
</p>
<p>The XML output is described in the XML schema description file
<samp>ffprobe.xsd</samp> installed in the FFmpeg datadir.
</p>
<p>An updated version of the schema can be retrieved at the url
<a href="http://www.ffmpeg.org/schema/ffprobe.xsd">http://www.ffmpeg.org/schema/ffprobe.xsd</a>, which redirects to the
latest schema committed into the FFmpeg development source code tree.
</p>
<p>Note that the output issued will be compliant to the
<samp>ffprobe.xsd</samp> schema only when no special global output options
(<samp>unit</samp>, <samp>prefix</samp>, <samp>byte_binary_prefix</samp>,
<samp>sexagesimal</samp> etc.) are specified.
</p>
<p>The description of the accepted options follows.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>fully_qualified, q</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>xsd_strict, x</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>If set to 1 perform more checks for ensuring that the output is XSD
compliant. Default value is 0.
This option automatically sets <samp>fully_qualified</samp> to 1.
</p></dd>

<p><code>ffprobe</code> supports Timecode extraction:
</p>
<ul>
<li> MPEG1/2 timecode is extracted from the GOP, and is available in the video
stream details (<samp>-show_streams</samp>, see <var>timecode</var>).
</li><li> MOV timecode is extracted from tmcd track, so is available in the tmcd
stream metadata (<samp>-show_streams</samp>, see <var>TAG:timecode</var>).
</li><li> DV, GXF and AVI timecodes are available in format metadata
(<samp>-show_format</samp>, see <var>TAG:timecode</var>).
