ffprobe - How to omit stream disposition info from output?
ffprobe - For a given audio file, I want to get stream info (specifically, sample rate, duration, bit rate, channel count) and all metadata tags (e.g. id3), but nothing else. After quite a bit of research, I have come up with the following ffprobe command:
./ffprobe -v error -show_streams -show_format -select_streams a:0
-show_entries "stream=codec_name,bit_rate,channels,sample_rate : format=duration"
-of default=noprint_wrappers=1 Song.mp3
With this command, you can see in the show_entries arg value, I'm only including codec_name, bit_rate, channels, and sample_rate.
However, the output (see below) includes this unwanted DISPOSITION=xyz crap that I did not ask for in my "show_entries" argument. What set of options/args will exclude this DISPOSITION=xyz stuff from my output ?
I have read through the ffprobe documentation, but it is not very easy to understand, and couldn't find what I wanted.
NOTE - I'm aware that I can pipe this command output to grep -v, but that is not an option for me, since I will be running this command as a child process from within my app, and need this to be efficient - grep means starting another process ... not an option.
In other words, I need to do this with ffprobe and ffprobe only.
codec_name=vorbis
sample_rate=44100
channels=2
bit_rate=240000
DISPOSITION:default=0 // DON'T WANT THIS :(
DISPOSITION:dub=0 // DON'T WANT THIS :(
...
DISPOSITION:timed_thumbnails=0 // DON'T WANT THIS :(

It's because you have -show_streams in there. Also, to show tags, you don't need -show_format.
Use
./ffprobe -v error -select_streams a:0
-show_entries "stream=codec_name,bit_rate,channels,sample_rate : format=duration : format_tags : stream_tags"
-of default=noprint_wrappers=1 Song.mp3

Yes Sir ! That's exactly it ... worked like a charm ! Thanks again :) I did read the ffmpeg docs but didn't understand what they meant by "format tags" or "stream tags".

BTW, I noticed that format_tags doesn't always give me the tags. In some files, stream_tags has the tags I'm looking for. So, to get all tags, it's best to include both format_tags and stream_tags, right ? If you agree, could you please edit your answer ? Or should I edit your answer ? Thanks.
