Probe metadata

[Tengyyy]

Hello.
I didn't find a clear way to retrieve the global metadata from FFprobeResult.
I'm not talking about stream specific metadata but the global metadata that shows up before the streams in FFprobe log.
Is it for example possible to retrieve that metadata as a list of key value pairs?

In short whole ffprobe output is parsed.
Provide ffprobe command and (its full output) you execute to get "global metadata".
Then please provide output of the same command with extra -print_format json option.
And of course Jaffree logs (if you have any) will be helpful.

I was already able to extract individual tags so that's not an issue for me

Right now it's not possible to iterate over keys in ffprobe output

Is there any chance that you will add this feature in the future? Some formats like mkv allow for custom key and value pairs and I would like to extract all the keys in my app. So I dont know what the keys are beforehand

The fastest way to add any feature is through pull request. I think the functionality is rather simple.

I can try and implement this, but can you tell me where to start with this feature as I'm not familiar with the codebase and I couldn't find where the ffprobe output parsing is done

[kokorin]

I would start with Intellij Idea installation and analysis of ffprobe package

Appreciate the condescending response
