Examples

Probe metadata

You can use Mediaplex to probe media files for metadata. Here's an example:

const mediaplex = require('mediaplex');

const stream = createReadStream('./media.mp3');
const { result } = await mediaplex.probeStream(stream);

console.log(result);

/* Sample Output */
{
    channels: 2,
    sampleRate: 44100,
    framesPerBlock: 0,
    codec: 4099, // use `CodecType` enum to validate this
    nFrames: 796032,
    duration: 18, // seconds
    metadata: [
        { name: 'TXXX:major_brand', value: 'mp42' },
        { name: 'TXXX:minor_version', value: '0' },
        { name: 'TXXX:compatible_brands', value: 'isommp42' },
        { name: 'TSSE', value: 'Lavf59.6.100' },
        { name: 'TIT2', value: "..." },
        { name: 'TPE1', value: '...' },
        { name: 'TALB', value: '...' },
        { name: 'TCON', value: '...' },
        { name: 'TPUB', value: '...' }
    ]
}

This will output an object containing information about the media file, including the number of channels, sample rate, codec, duration, and metadata. The default probe size is 2MB, but you can adjust this as needed by passing the second argument to probeStream:

// probe only 1024 bytes
const { result } = await mediaplex.probeStream(stream, 1024);

// probe 5 MB
const { result } = await mediaplex.probeStream(stream, 5 * 1024 * 1024);

Opus Encoder

Mediaplex also includes an Opus encoder/decoder, which can be used as a drop-in replacement for @discordjs/opus. Here's an example on how to use it:

const { OpusEncoder, getOpusVersion } = require("mediaplex");

console.log(getOpusVersion()); // libopus xxx

const encoder = new OpusEncoder(48000, 2);

const encoded = encoder.encode(buffer);
const decoded = encoder.decode(encoded);

You can use OpusEncoder to encode pcm data to opus and decode opus data to pcm format. Stream interface is provided by @discord-player/opus package.
