Project description

Retrieves information about all available video and audio devices using FFmpeg.

pip install ffmpegdevices

Tested against Windows 10 / Python 3.10 / Anaconda

        Retrieves information about all available video and audio devices using FFmpeg.

        Args:
            ffmpegexe (str): The path to the FFmpeg executable.

        Returns:
            dict: A dictionary containing information about all available devices.
                  The dictionary has two keys: "video" and "audio".
                  The value of each key is another dictionary with all device infos

        Example:
            from pprint import pprint as pp
            from ffmpegdevices import get_all_devices
            ffmpegexe = r"C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe"
            devices = get_all_devices(ffmpegexe)
            pp(devices)
