C# Video Metadata reader (ffprobe wrapper)

Alturos.VideoInfo

With this project you can access the metadata of a video (e.g. its duration, bitrate, codec, etc.).

This project uses a wrapper for ffprobe in order to achieve this. ffprobe is a part of FFmpeg and extracts information from multimedia streams in a way the output is readable by humans and machines alike. It's required for this project to work.

The project comes with a class that automatically downloads the tool for you.
