alfred-ffprobe

An Alfred workflow that Ffprobes a media file or URL and displays track information in the Alfred popup.

Installation

Execute the following:

npm i -g alfred-ffprobe

This will create a new workflow in Alfred called ffprobe

Prerequisites

Ffprobe is a utility that extracts media information from files. It should be first installed in the system and available in the PATH variable.

Usage

With local media files

Invoke the workflow with the fpr hotkey (which can be changed to your preference in the workflow editor). Enter a media file name or paste the path to a media file. The workflow will then initiate an ffprobe command and display a list of audio and video tracks in the media file along with other track properties.

With media URLs

Invoke Alfred's popup and paste the URL here. Then invoke the Universal Actions using the configured hotkey. Track information of the media file will be displayed in the popup as in the case above. Note: Universal Actions should be enabled and configured with a hotkey.
