# VidEnc
This is a command-line application that analyzes video files using `ffprobe` to extract stream information (video, audio, subtitles). It then uses the OMDb API to fetch additional movie details such as title and release date, given an IMDB ID.
## Workflow
1. **Input:** The application takes a video file path as input, along with an optional IMDB ID and a flag to disable subtitle processing.
2. **FFprobe Analysis:** It runs `ffprobe` on the input video file to extract stream information in JSON format.
3. **Stream Parsing:** The JSON output is parsed to identify video, audio, and subtitle streams.
4. **OMDb API Lookup (Optional):** If an IMDB ID is provided, the application queries the OMDb API to retrieve movie title and release date.
5. **Output:** Finally, it prints a command string based on the extracted information. This command string is likely intended for further video processing or encoding.
- Every audio stream that is side loaded, must be converted to 5.1 channel layout with `channelmap=channel_layout=5.1`
## Usage
```bash
python src/app.py <video_file> [-i <imdb_id>] [-ns]
```
* `<video_file>`: Path to the video file.
* `-i <imdb_id>`: (Optional) IMDB ID of the movie.
* `-ns`: (Optional) Flag to disable subtitle processing.
## Example
```bash
python src/app.py my_movie.mp4 -i tt1234567
```
This would analyze `my_movie.mp4`, fetch details from OMDb using IMDB ID `tt1234567`, and print a command string.
