Processing a .trp and outputing the codec details

[johnnyturbo3]

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum, but nothing else seemed suitable.

I'm developing an application that gathers a video's details/statistics and puts these details into a database.
I want to use VLC to play/analyse a .trp (Transport Stream) file, gather the codec details/statistics and output them to a text file/or store them in some variables.
This can be done (without the text file dump) using the GUI VLCPlayer [Tools -> Codec Information], so I know VLC has the capabilities.

I'm asking whether someone could point me in the right direction. Are codec details retrievable using the libVLC? Or are there other VLC projects, such as Multicat, that can do this via command line?

Thanks for your help.

Is this what you want?

libvlc_media.h:

Code: Select all

VLC_PUBLIC_API int libvlc_media_get_stats( libvlc_media_t *p_md, libvlc_media_stats_t *p_stats ); VLC_PUBLIC_API int libvlc_media_get_tracks_info( libvlc_media_t *p_md, libvlc_media_track_info_t **tracks );
