Video info

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.

It uses ffmpeg internally, but none of that is exposed to python. You could probably use xbmc's included version though if you find out where it's stored
