crispy-media-probe

Media probing helpers built around ffprobe, ffmpeg, and optional libmpv integration.

What This Crate Is

crispy-media-probe inspects IPTV/media streams and captures screenshots using common external media tools. It is designed for diagnostics, validation pipelines, and automated media QA.

What It Provides

stream probing via ffprobe
audio/video metadata extraction
screenshot capture via ffmpeg
HLS variant parsing and selection helpers
bitrate profiling
label-vs-resolution mismatch checks
optional libmpv-based probe/screenshot path

Installation

[dependencies]
crispy-media-probe = "0.1.1"

Optional feature:

[dependencies]
crispy-media-probe = { version = "0.1.1", features = ["libmpv-backend"] }

MSRV: Rust 1.85

Quick Start

use crispy_media_probe::probe_stream;

# async fn demo() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let info = probe_stream("http://example.com/stream.m3u8", 10).await?;
println!("streams found: {}", info.stream_count);
# Ok(())
# }

Runtime Requirements

Depending on which API path you use, you may need:

ffprobe
ffmpeg
libmpv when libmpv-backend is enabled

Typical Uses

stream diagnostics
validation pipelines
screenshot generation
automated media QA

Current Limitations

external binaries are not bundled by the crate
platform support depends on the caller providing working ffmpeg/ffprobe/libmpv installations
this crate does not queue, persist, or orchestrate probe jobs
