@backendsuraj/offline-ffprobe

A platform-independent, offline-friendly binary installer of FFprobe for Node.js projects.

FFprobe Version: 8.0.0

Why this package?

Most FFmpeg/FFprobe wrappers download the binary at runtime or install time. This fails in strict corporate environments with firewalls or proxies. This package bundles the binaries directly, so npm install is all you need.

Usage

Standard Node.js

import ffprobe from '@backendsuraj/offline-ffprobe';
import { spawn } from 'child_process';

const ffprobePath = ffprobe.path;
spawn(ffprobePath, ['-version'], { stdio: 'inherit' });

With fluent-ffmpeg

import fluentFfmpeg from 'fluent-ffmpeg';
import ffprobeBinary from '@backendsuraj/offline-ffprobe';

// Manually set the path to the bundled binary
fluentFfmpeg.setFfprobePath(ffprobeBinary.path);

// Use fluent-ffmpeg as usual
fluentFfmpeg('input.mp4').ffprobe((err, data) => {
    console.log(data);
});
