a Ruby wrapper for ffprobe (which is part of ffmpeg)
ffprobe gathers information from multimedia streams and prints it in human- and machine-readable fashion.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ffprober'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ffprober
require 'ffprober'
ffprobe = Ffprober::Parser.from_file("my_awesome_video.mp4")
