Platform independent binary installer of FFprobe for node projects. Useful for tools that should "just work" in multiple environments.
Installs a standalone static binary of ffprobe
for the current platform and provides a path and version. Supports Linux, Windows 7+, and MacOS 10.9+.
A combination of package.json fields optionalDependencies
, cpu
, and os
lets the installer only download the binary for the current platform. See also Warnings during install.
Supports Node >= 14.21.2
npm install --save @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe
1const ffprobe = require('@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe'); 2console.log(ffprobe.path, ffprobe.version);
1const ffprobePath = require('@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe').path; 2const spawn = require('child_process').spawn; 3const ffprobe = spawn(ffprobePath, args); 4ffprobe.on('exit', onExit);
1const ffprobePath = require('@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe').path; 2const ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg'); 3ffmpeg.setFfprobePath(ffprobePath);
To automatically choose the binary to install, optionalDependencies are used. This currently outputs warnings in the console, an issue for that is tracked by the npm team here.
If you get permissions issues, try adding a .npmrc file with the following:
unsafe-perm=true
See node-ffmpeg-installer/issues/21
It's a known issue that Asar breaks native paths. As a workaround, if you use Asar, you can do something like this:
1const ffprobePath = require('@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe').path.replace( 2 'app.asar', 3 'app.asar.unpacked' 4);
