How does XBMC gather video information (resolution, codec, sound channels, etc.)?
More importantly, is there a way to access this functionality from an addon (I didn't see anything in the API)?
I can do it my self with avprobe (ffprobe), but I'd prefer to rely on XBMC's cross-platform grace.
As a backup, does XBMC provide access to ffmpeg or something like that so I could at least write my own cross-platform calls?
Thanks.
