I have ffmpeg and ffprobe installed on my mac (macOS Sierra), and I have added their path to PATH. I can run them from terminal.
I am trying to use ffprobe to get the width and height of a video file using the following code:
import subprocess
import shlex
import json
# function to find the resolution of the input video file
def findVideoResolution(pathToInputVideo):
cmd = "ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_streams"
args = shlex.split(cmd)
args.append(pathToInputVideo)
# run the ffprobe process, decode stdout into utf-8 & convert to JSON
ffprobeOutput = subprocess.check_output(args).decode('utf-8')
ffprobeOutput = json.loads(ffprobeOutput)
# find height and width
height = ffprobeOutput['streams'][0]['height']
