Is there a way to get the frame width and frame height properties of a webm via javascript?

Here are the properties I'm trying to access:

I've looked at mediainfo.js (https://github.com/buzz/mediainfo.js?files=1) and honestly I'm not able to figure it out.

I've also seen people mention that it's possible to use 'media info' (https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) CLI to accomplish this but I can't find any instruction on how to accomplish this.

I've also tried utilising wmic like so:

var exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('wmic datafile where name="C:\\\\some_path\\\\MyTestCourse\\\\test_conversion\\\\testProject001\\\\videos\\\\video0.webm" get NaturalVideoWidth ', function(err, stdout, stderr){
        if(!err){
            console.log(stdout)
        };
    });

but I don't think it can access what I'm looking for.

I need to be able to run this in a terminal as part of a batch conversion of videos I'm doing. I'm using nodejs and a batch file to accomplish this.

I'd greatly appreciate any insight or advice.

Solution

Here's a working (work on my machine™️) script in Node.js. Hope it helps. I use the test video from https://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files/

const { promises } = require("fs");
const MediaInfoFactory = require("mediainfo.js");

function getReadChunkFunction(fileHandle) {
  async function readChunk(size, offset) {
    const buffer = new Uint8Array(size);
    await fileHandle.read(buffer, 0, size, offset);
    return buffer;
  }

  return readChunk;
}

async function readMetaData(filepath) {
  const mediaInfo = await MediaInfoFactory({ format: "JSON", coverData: true });
  const fileHandle = await promises.open(filepath, "r");
  const fileSize = (await fileHandle.stat()).size;
  const readChunk = getReadChunkFunction(fileHandle);
  const result = await mediaInfo.analyzeData(() => fileSize, readChunk);
  return result;
}

// Usage example:

readMetaData(__dirname + "/big-buck-bunny_trailer.webm").then((result) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(result);
  const videoMetaData = data.media.track.find((item) => item["@type"] === "Video");
  const { Width, Height } = videoMetaData;

  console.log("Width", Width);
  console.log("Height", Height);
});

And the raw output from mediainfo looks like below, expand snippet to inspect.
