ffprobe('http://my/url.mp4').then(metadata => {
  console.log(metadata);
});

API

index

module.exports(url, opts) ⇒ object ⏏

Kind: Exported function Returns: object - the ffprobe metadata

Param	Type	Description
url	string
opts	object	request options (ie. { timeout: 1500 }).
opts.download	boolean	whether to download the file before probing. Note that this is just to skip the streaming step if you already know you are dealing with a non-streamable file. If streaming fails, we will automatically fallback to a download probe.

Note: To regenerate this section from the jsdoc run npm run docs and paste the output above.
