Hmmm... Not yet. Might have dozed off during that part of the presentation ����
Ahhh I see what you mean...
...for JSON:
$ ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams "my_movie.mp4" > "my_movie.json"
$ cat my_movie.json
...or for XML:
$ ffprobe -v quiet -print_format xml -show_format -show_streams "my_movie.mp4" > "my_movie.xml"
$ cat my_movie.xml
...I figure the json is a little easier to read.
