Hello,
I asked it already here https://superuser.com/questions/1752308/ffprobe-runs-over-2-times-slower-than-mediainfo-how-to-make-ffprobe-to-ru, but no reply so far, maybe the devs are only active here.
On 1593 FLAC files ffprobe takes 32s to run this script:
find . -type f -iname "*.flac" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' FILENAME; do
INFOS=$(ffprobe -hide_banner "$FILENAME" 2>&1)
URL=$("$INFOS"|& grep -i 'http\|www')
if [ "$URL" != "" ]; then
echo -e "$FILENAME\t$URL"
fi
done | column -t -s $'\t'
, but mediainfo only takes about half as much. How to make ffprobe to run at least as fast or faster, so I can remove mediainfo again? (this question is not about making the script run in parallel, but about single threaded performance, so it runs even faster in parallel)
