What problem does it solve?

ffprobe is a powerful tool but raw outputs are hard to parse and reuse. This Skill provides a focused wrapper to extract container, streams, and metadata in structured formats for automation and QA.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect container metadata (format, duration, size, bitrate) and per-stream details (codec, resolution, fps, HDR flags).
  • Query specific fields via a simple dotted path, or output full JSON for downstream pipelines.
  • Quick-start use: validate a video file's metadata before transcoding, verify HDR status, or generate catalog entries for a media library.

Quick Start

Run the probe script to generate a human-readable summary or JSON metadata for a file provided as input.
