little-media-box

Convenient atomicized classes for representing digital multimedia assets in distributed Node.js DSP pipelines. NOTE: This is an audio-centric fork of the original little-media-box repository. For the baseline module, see @little-core-labs/little-media-box

Background

At Storyboard, we have strong opinions on how to handle audio, especially when it is UGC sourced from the web. Leveraging our expertise in the handling of multimedia assets in distributed cloud pipelines, we have built out and extended little-media-box to meet audio-centric use cases.

Usage

const { Delivery, Source } = require('@storyboard-fm/little-media-box')

const uri = 'http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4'

const delivery = new Delivery()

delivery.ready(() => {
  delivery.source(uri)
  delivery.probe(console.log)
  //delivery.demux(console.log).on('progress', console.log)

API

const lmb = require('@storyboard-fm/little-media-box')

Import little-media-box.

demuxStream = lmb.createDemuxStream(source, [opts])

Extracts the media track from the given source and returns it as a stream.Readable.

delivery = new lmb.Delivery([opts])

An object, which provides one or more Source objects. Extends nanoresource-pool.

lmb.demux(source, [opts], callback)

Extracts one or more media tracks from the given source, and saves each to its own individual Matroska container.

lmb.mux(sources, [opts], callback)

The callback receives error and output arguments.

{ bin } = lmb.settings

A settings object containing a bin object with the following properties:

{
  x264: X264_BIN_PATH,
  ffmpeg: FFMPEG_BIN_PATH,
  ffprobe: FFPROBE_BIN_PATH,
  mkvmerge: MKVMERGE_BIN_PATH,
}

settings = new lmb.configure([opts])

Contains many constants used in various operations.

{1: iso6391, 2: iso6392, 2: iso6393} = lmb.iso639

lmb.extensions

An extended Array that contains a set of lexicographically-sorted unique file extension names. Provides various methods like checking the file type for an extension.

Extends nanoresource.

source = new lmb.Source(uri, [opts])

Extends nanoresource.
