About:
flvmeta is a command-line utility designed to extract and manipulate metadata from Adobe Flash Video (FLV) files. It allows users to retrieve detailed information such as duration, framerate, and video/audio codec data, as well as inject or update metadata tags. This tool is essential for developers and media engineers working with legacy FLV streams for analysis and optimization.

Key Features:

Extract detailed metadata (duration, bitrate, codecs)
Update or inject custom metadata tags
Validate FLV file structure
JSON output support for easy parsing

Use Cases:

Automating metadata extraction for video asset management
Injecting cue points or metadata into FLV streams for streaming servers
Debugging and verifying FLV file integrity

Alternatives:

ffmpeg – FFmpeg is a comprehensive multimedia framework that can also extract metadata, but flvmeta offers specialized, lightweight tools specifically for FLV manipulation.
