[Synology] Read media characteristics via libmediainfo instead of ffprobe

Post by rednoah »

The ffprobe binary shipped with the Media Server package does not work for some users on some Synology DSM devices:

Code: Select all

 [/var/packages/MediaServer/target/bin/ffprobe, -show_streams, -show_format, -print_format, json, -v, error, ...] failed (1)

Code: Select all

$ /var/packages/MediaServer/target/bin/ffprobe -show_streams -show_format -print_format json ...
...
Could not open codec for input stream 0


:arrow: Configure filebot to use the libmediainfo library instead of the ffprobe executable when reading media characteristics such as video duration and audio language:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.media.parser=libmediainfo
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
