get-audio-duration's Issues

question about the 15.789569

i want to know how to extract the millisecond and micro from the output is 15.789569
and maybe 2.36839

Get HH::MM:SS output

Hello

It would be really helpful if you could get the output with a HH:MM:SS format.

Since getAudioDurationInSeconds returns the seconds of a given file something like the following code example could be added to get the formatted output:

const duration = seconds => new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().split('T').pop().split('.').shift()

This way you can get something like this:

{
    "seconds": 29,
    "duration": "00:00:29"
}
{
    "seconds": 210.528812,
    "duration": "00:03:30"
}
{
    "seconds": 255.242449,
    "duration": "00:04:15"
}

Thank you.

Could not find ffprobe executable on AWS Lambda

I'm getting this error message on AWS lambda (node 14) running [email protected]:

  "errorMessage": "Could not find ffprobe executable, tried \"/var/task/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/linux-x64/ffprobe\" and \"/var/task/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/linux-x64/ffprobe\"",

I'm not even to the point of calling the method and passing it a custom path to ffprobe - this error occurs when requiring the module:

const { getAudioDurationInSeconds } = require('get-audio-duration');

It's coming from @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe, and I guess my question is... when one plans on using a custom path to ffprobe, should @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe even be a factor?

Streams fail: No duration found!

I just tried the example from README.md:

import getAudioDurationInSeconds from "get-audio-duration";
import fs from "fs";

const stream = fs.createReadStream('audio.ogg')
getAudioDurationInSeconds(stream).then((duration) => {
  console.log(duration)
})

and it returns an error:

/path/to/project/node_modules/get-audio-duration/dist/commonjs/index.js:33
            op = body.call(thisArg, _);
                      ^

If I pass the same file as a parameter, it works great:

getAudioDurationInSeconds("audio.ogg").then((duration) => {
  console.log(duration)
})
// Output: 0.95102

(Unfortunately, I cannot be content with the files method as I don't have files.)

Version information

I tried this with both my standard ffprobe installation, passing the path to it in the second parameter, and with the version that @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe fetches - no difference.

My ffprobe: ffprobe version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe: ffprobe version N-58069-gc253b180cb-static https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/

remote audio file

We use Google Cloud Storage and it would be nice if it was possible to fetch the audio duration of the file from there?

MP3 support?

I have no idea if this module has some MP3 support but I just got an error:

No duration found!

On the browser side the audio length for the same file is reported correctly from a "new Audio()" object.

Does this work with react?

No duration found when utilizing s3 readStream

I am able to pull my s3 audio files down and then find the audio duration using local path. I wanted to use a readStream instead, to avoid the local writing. When using the stream I get a no duration found error, even though the same file previously had a duration if I write it locally.

Should I be able to use an s3 readStream?
If so, will it look something like getAudioDurationInSeconds(s3.getObject().createReadStream()) ?

Update: I get the same error when utilizing fs.createReadStream(localPath).

issue on server

it works well locally but when i build it in docker (server) it crashes with that error what can i do?

latest version v3.1.1 but npm has v3.1.0 already

could you please update it to the latest version v3.1.1 into npm also? its v3.1.0 already.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-audio-duration

to fix the following issue at v3.1.0 please update the package at npmjs.com to v3.1.1.

Not working with react-native !

I installed it in my react-native project but it is throwing multiple errors.
Did anyone use it with react-native and react-native-fs?

React-native-0.72.3

Any plan to support M1 chips ?

Currently it does not build on new M1 Macs.
I'll try to share the error messages later on.

Could not find ffprobe executable

I had no problems before, but recently I get this error, dropping my application on OSX:

The executable is there, in the /Users/neverlandbudapest/test/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/darwin-x64 folder.

.. could this be fixed?

React Native

Does this work for react-native?

Will this work without FFMPEG//FFPROBE installed?

Streaming method does not work with wav files

const { getAudioDurationInSeconds } = require('get-audio-duration')
const fs = require('fs')

filepath = './scratch_file/assets_audios_10000.wav'

path_method();
stream_method();

function stream_method() {
    console.log("GET AUDIO BY STREAM");
    stream = fs.createReadStream(filepath);
    // duration = getAudioDurationInSeconds(stream)
    getAudioDurationInSeconds(stream).then((duration) => {
        console.log(duration);
    });
}

function path_method() {
    console.log("GET AUDIO FILE BY PATH");
    // duration = getAudioDurationInSeconds(filepath)
    getAudioDurationInSeconds(filepath).then((duration) => {
        console.log(duration);
    });
}

The sample code is above, put an audio file to some path,
method using path returned duration successfully,
but the method using stream tells (node:74393) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: No duration found!
