Matroska library written for nodejs
It is a fork of https://github.com/themasch/node-ebml
Fast and incomplete parsing of a mkv file: (we keep only metadatas)
var matroska = require('matroska');
var url="http://download.wavetlan.com/SVV/Media/HTTP/mkv/H264_PCM(mkvmerge).mkv";
matroska.Decoder.parseInfoTagsAndAttachments(url, function(error, document) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
return;
}
console.log(document.print());
});
Returns a tree: (format: offset#tagId * node)
