xml

XML based format.

The XML output is described in the XML schema description file 'ffprobe.xsd' installed in the FFmpeg datadir.

An updated version of the schema can be retrieved at the url http://www.ffmpeg.org/schema/ffprobe.xsd, which redirects to the latest schema committed into the FFmpeg development source code tree.

Note that the output issued will be compliant to the 'ffprobe.xsd' schema only when no special global output options ('unit', 'prefix', 'byte_binary_prefix', 'sexagesimal' etc.) are specified.

The description of the accepted options follows.

'fully_qualified, q'

If set to 1 specify if the output should be fully qualified. Default value is 0. This is required for generating an XML file which can be validated through an XSD file.

'xsd_strict, x'

If set to 1 perform more checks for ensuring that the output is XSD compliant. Default value is 0. This option automatically sets 'fully_qualified' to 1.
