The normal text output of ''ffprobe'' goes to stderr, so you usually need to add ''2>&1'' to parse the output. The alternative is to use the complex ffprobe options to format the output which then goes to stdout. | The normal text output of ''ffprobe'' goes to stderr, so you usually need to add ''2>&1'' to parse the output.

+ | ffmpeg -i "$in" -vn -sn -dn -map 0:a -af "astats=measure_overall=none" -f null - 2>&1 \ | ||
+ | | perl -nle 'if (($id, $var, $val)=/^\[Parsed_astats_0 \@ 0x([\da-f]+)] (Channel|Max level): ([\d\.]+)/) { if ($var=~/Channel/) { if (!$t || $id ne $h{$t}{id}) {$t++; $h{$t}{id}=$id;} $c=$val;} elsif ($var=~/level/) {print "$t.$c $var = $val";} }' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Or with ''volumedetect'', but it mixes all channels into a single value | ||
+ | |||
+ | ffmpeg -i "$in" -map 0:a -af "volumedetect" -f null - 2>&1 | grep max_volume | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Audio checksums ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | for track in $(ffprobe -v error -select_streams a -show_entries stream=index -of csv=p=0 "$in"); do \ | ||
+ | ffmpeg -i "$in" -vn -map 0:$track -c:a copy -f md5 - 2>/dev/null \ | ||
+ | | while read md5; do \ | ||
+ | printf "%32s Audio Track %2d %s\n" $md5 $track "$in"; \ | ||
+ | done; \ | ||
