A simple rewrite of node-ffprobe, designed to work with avprobe instead.
This was done since Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't include the metapackage "ffmpeg", and instead uses "libav-tools".
It uses Promises instead of callbacks, and makes use of the es6-promises library so that the API is standard.
This has only been tested on Ununtu 14.04
First you need to get the "avprobe" executable:
$ sudo apt-get install libav-tools
Then install this package, either inside your package.json or like so:
$ npm install avprober
var avprober = require('avprober');
avprober('some/file.mp3')
.then(
function(data) {
console.log('YAY', data);
},
function(err) {
console.error('BOO', err);
}
