joacatito

Hi fellows.

How to enable ffprobe on Raspberry Pi 3?

I do need to compile all batocera os again? How to?
I do need to compile ffmpeg again? How to?
I do need to get a compiled ffprobe and put it on /usr/bin? I already tried with armel and armhf versions, but I got the error: Segmentation fault.

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to find an answer but I'm still stucked.

Thanks!

What do you need FFProbe for on Batocera? It's not shipped, and would need to be compiled.

It's the only device available to download and encode my videos in order to share through DLNA over my local network.

I know, it's not the best way, but is the only one available right now. I just need FFProbe to check video codecs before convert them.

Batocera is a retrogaming OS, not sure it's the best choice for video encoding. That said, I am not sure on the RPi, but on a PC you can use ffmpeg -i videofile.mp4 to check the audio/video codecs, bitrates, framerates, resolutions... Not as thorough as ffprobe, but better than nothing.
