[FFmpeg-user] How to read out Color primaries (bt709, bt601, fcc) via ffprobe -show_streams

[Christoph Gerstbauer]

Hello Carl,

how can I read out the information in brackets after the pixel format 
information via ffprobe -show_streams?

When I open a file (eg. XDCAMHD) ffprobe shows me following:

Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg2video (4:2:2), yuv422p(tv, bt709), 1920x1080 
[SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], max. 50000 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 50 tbc

I want to get this information with "ffprobe -show_streams": 
*pix_fmt=yuv422p(tv, bt709)*
But when I use this syntax the output shows me only: *pix_fmt=yuv422p*

This happens with every file I am testing. So ffprobe does not have this 
function to show the tv,bt709 information with the -show_streams option, 
I guess.

CL output:
