So I have the following video example



    Stream #0:0(jpn): Video: h264 (High 10), yuv420p10le(progressive), 1920x1036 [SAR 1:1 DAR 480:259], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 47.95 tbc (default)
Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.0(side), fltp, 640 kb/s (default)
Stream #0:2(jpn): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.0(side), fltp, 640 kb/s
Stream #0:3(eng): Subtitle: ass (default)
Metadata:
title : English Signs & Songs
Stream #0:4(eng): Subtitle: ass
Metadata:
title : English Subtitles
Stream #0:5: Attachment: ttf
Metadata:
filename : PutoInsanity.ttf
mimetype : application/x-truetype-font


I want to use ffprobe to count the amount of video streams and audio streams, which in this case should give me 1 and 2 resp. How can this be achieved?

          No such built-in feature that I am aware of, but you can use additional tools to process the output:



          ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type input.mkv | grep "codec_type=audio" | wc -w
          ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type input.mkv | grep "codec_type=video" | wc -w
