Events
-
GotNewLog(sessionId: number, message: text)– Triggered on new log entry during async execution. -
GotNewStatistics(sessionId: number, statistics: text)– Provides statistics during async execution. -
CommandSuccess(async: boolean, isProbe: boolean, isMediaInformation: boolean, output: text)– Triggered on successful command execution. -
CommandCancelled(async: boolean, output: text)– Triggered when a command is canceled. -
CommandFailed(async: boolean, output: text)– Triggered on command failure. -
ErrorOccurred(errorMsg: text)– Triggered when an error occurs. -
LibrariesLoaded()– Triggered when native libraries are loaded successfully.
Usage Examples
First load native libraries from assets, file path or url.
Sample url: https://exp.sunnythedeveloper.in/ffmpeg.zip
(It doesn't contain binaries for all archs)
Only then you'll be able to use extension blocks.
Once libraries have been loaded, you can execute mpeg and probe commands synchronously as well as asynchronously.
Please refer to ffmpeg documentation to learn more about commands.
