ffmpy3 0.2.3

A simple asynchronous Python wrapper for ffmpeg

ffmpy3

ffmpy3 is a fork of ffmpy, a simplistic FFmpeg command line wrapper. ffmpy implements a Pythonic interface for executing FFmpeg via command line and uses Python’s subprocess module for synchronous execution. Asynchronous execution using yield from or await is also supported using Python’s asyncio.subprocess module.

Installation

You guessed it:

pip install ffmpy3

Quick example

The following code snippet executes FFmpeg synchronously, taking input.mp4 from the current directory as the input. It remuxes the contents of input.mp4 into a new file called output.avi which is saved in the current directory.

>>> import ffmpy3
>>> ff = ffmpy3.FFmpeg(
...     inputs={'input.mp4': None},
...     outputs={'output.avi': None}
... )
>>> ff.run()

The following code snippet does the same thing as above, but executes FFmpeg asynchronously.

>>> ff = ffmpy3.FFmpeg(
...     inputs={'input.mp4': None},
...     outputs={'output.avi': None}
... )
>>> ff.run_async()
>>> await ff.wait()
