ffprobe add RFC 6381 string to stream metadata

Open santhoshnumberone opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I have source of two mp4 extensions files in a video tag so next value looked by the browser would be the codecs part in the types I think according to this answer can-a-html-5-video-tag-have-multiple-mp4-sources-with-different-codecs

Example:

<video> <source src="video.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' /> <source src="high.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.64001E, mp4a.40.2"' /> <source src="main.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E, mp4a.40.2"' /> <source src="baseline.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.58A01E, mp4a.40.2"' /> </video>

To get the codecs from the video source file in RFC 6381 string format. We have to use a program mp4file according to answer suggested on html5 video tag codecs attribute

Found a new enhancement raised in 2017 on trac.ffmpeg.org called ffprobe feature request: add RFC 6381 string to stream metadata

Can this feature be added in near future for developer to developers life much easier?
