mprobe
Read video and audio metadata with Python 3.10+ and ffprobe (or avprobe). Install FFmpeg separately and ensure ffprobe is on your PATH; pip does not install it.
Install and use
python -m pip install mprobe
from mprobe import mediainfo
info = mediainfo("video.mp4", timeout=30)
print(info.get("duration")) # seconds, as a string
print(info.get("format_name"))
Accepts strings and pathlib paths. Values are strings; TAG and DISPOSITION contain dictionaries. Repeated fields use the last stream’s value, then the container’s value. Fields vary by file and may be absent. Missing probes raise FileNotFoundError; invalid or missing media raise subprocess.CalledProcessError (details in stderr). A timeout raises subprocess.TimeoutExpired.
Inspired by pydub.
