How to retrieve video file information from command line under Linux?
69
I'd like to see from command line all informations pertaining to a given video file, including length, quality, bitrate, resolution, audio and video formats, number and language of audio streams and subtitles, and so on; the more, the best.
As far as now I must resort on the "information" tab of VLC because even Dolphin file manager isn't helping me with this: it shows me only some of these informations and just for some formats (i.e. .mkv doesn't seem supported that way).

Give mediainfo a try.
On the command line type mediainfo input.mkv. For more detailed video information mediainfo --fullscan input.mkv.

FYI, this worked great on OS X 10.10 using brew.sh and installing mplayer withbrew install mplayer. mplayer seems to detect a lot more non-standard metadata than mediainfo does.

On recent linux distributions you can also get information using avconv:

but imho. the quotation marks around the output value are missing, so it should be:
mediaInfo --Output='Video;%Duration%' filename.mp4
based on this i wrote a little wrapper to calculate the duration of found files whith outputs the summary in h:
echo "scale=2; ($(find /foo/bar -type f -exec mediainfo --Output='Video;%Duration%+' {} ; | grep -v ^$ | tr -d n)0)"/60000/60|bc
hope, this helps anyone.

Mediainfo is a great tool. As an alternative you can grab the details using ffprobe as well.
$ ffprobe -hide_banner -loglevel fatal -show_error -show_format -show_streams -show_programs -show_chapters -show_private_data -print_format json /home/sathish/Videos/Aandipatti.mp4

FYI, this worked great on OS X 10.10 using brew.sh and installing mplayer withbrew install mplayer. mplayer seems to detect a lot more non-standard metadata than mediainfo does.

yes, I found it. I should do it like that ; 'mediaInfo --Output=Video;%Duration% filename.mp4'
but imho. the quotation marks around the output value are missing, so it should be:
mediaInfo --Output='Video;%Duration%' filename.mp4
based on this i wrote a little wrapper to calculate the duration of found files whith outputs the summary in h:
echo "scale=2; ($(find /foo/bar -type f -exec mediainfo --Output='Video;%Duration%+' {} ; | grep -v ^$ | tr -d n)0)"/60000/60|bc
hope, this helps anyone.
