Get video information using ffprobe and url

videoinfo.js

var exec = require('child_process').exec

var url = 'https://URL'
var command =
  'curl --silent ' + url + '| ffprobe pipe:0 -print_format json -show_format'

exec(command, function callback (error, stdout, stderr) {
  if (stderr.indexOf('Invalid data') > -1) {
    console.error('Error!')
  }
  console.log(stdout)
})

Thanks !!!

You can add --location option to curl for allow http redirection with localtion http header.

There is no need of using curl, here is an example ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams -show_error -show_chapters https://www.videvo.net/videvo_files/converted/2016_04/preview/EMIT__Connections_Plexus.mov23794.webm
