This command is used to probe multimedia files and extract information from them using the tool ffprobe.
Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:
-
ffprobe
: This is the command itself, which is a part of the FFmpeg project. FFprobe is a command-line tool used to analyze media files. -
-i ${media_file_path}
: This option specifies the input file to be probed by ffprobe.${media_file_path}
is a placeholder for the actual path of the media file. You need to replace it with the actual file path. -
-show_streams
: This option tells ffprobe to display information about each stream in the media file. It includes details like the audio codec, video codec, duration, bitrate, etc. Each stream represents a distinct piece of data contained within the media file, for example, an audio track or a video track. -
-show_format
: This option instructs ffprobe to display information about the format of the media file. This includes details like the file format, duration, bitrate, number of streams, etc. -
-print_format json
: This option specifies the output format of the information generated by ffprobe. In this case, the output will be formatted as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), a widely used data interchange format that is easy for computers to parse and generate.
By running this command, you will obtain JSON-formatted information about the streams and format of the specified media file.
