isolate the output only: FFmpeg

I'm trying to isolate the value given by ffmpeg when running a command.

The command is:

ffmpeg -i 03.mxf -c:v copy -c:a pcm_s24le -hide_banner -nostats -af loudnorm=I=-23:TP=-2:LRA=7:print_format=json -f null -

I only want the JSON text:

{
        "input_i" : "-19.90",
        "input_tp" : "-1.69",
        "input_lra" : "2.40",
        "input_thresh" : "-30.39",
        "output_i" : "-23.28",
        "output_tp" : "-5.06",
        "output_lra" : "0.40",
        "output_thresh" : "-33.59",
        "normalization_type" : "dynamic",
        "target_offset" : "0.28"
}

However,

The output is:

What can I put in the command to isolate this?

Solution

  • The following extracts exactly the part between (including) { and }

    Method a: every line that has only one character or starts with eight spaces (double-check - it might be a TAB instead): 

    type test.txt |findstr /r /bc:"        .*" /c:"^.$"

    Method b: every line that contains a quote " or a { or a }`:

    type test.txt |findstr  "\" { }"

    inserting your complete ffmpeg command instead of type test.txt should work the same.
    Edit: As I learned from Itwasn'tMe, ffmpeg outputs that stuff on STDERR. So the real code should be (assuming the ffmpeg syntax is correct in your question):

    ffmpeg -i 03.mxf -c:v copy -c:a pcm_s24le -hide_banner -nostats -af loudnorm=I=-23:TP=-2:LRA=7:print_format=json -f null - 2>&1 | findstr "\" { }"
