Update regarding my question from here: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2022-November/055677.html: Nevermind ffmpeg/ffprobe being 2 times slower than mediainfo, ffprobe is 12 times slower than metaflac now. I updated my post on superuser. To improve the performance I tried to tell ffprobe to do the same as is possible with metaflac and print only the VORBIS_COMMENT or TAG fields (so it doesn't parse the whole file or whatever makes it 12 times slower, but only that specific data block of a FLAC file) by running ffprobe -show_entries format_tags .., but this unfortunately doesn't improve the performance. ------- Original Message ------- On Sunday, November 13th, 2022 at 12:16, sbtgerbtzertertv via ffmpeg-user <ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org> wrote:

Hello,

I asked it already here https://superuser.com/questions/1752308/ffprobe-runs-over-2-times-slower-tha..., but no reply so far, maybe the devs are only active here.

On 1593 FLAC files ffprobe takes 32s to run this script:

find . -type f -iname "*.flac" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' FILENAME; do INFOS=$(ffprobe -hide_banner "$FILENAME" 2>&1)

URL=$("$INFOS"|& grep -i 'http\|www') if [ "$URL" != "" ]; then echo -e "$FILENAME\t$URL" fi done | column -t -s $'\t'

, but mediainfo only takes about half as much. How to make ffprobe to run at least as fast or faster, so I can remove mediainfo again? (this question is not about making the script run in parallel, but about single threaded performance, so it runs even faster in parallel) _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
