How to get MediaInfo in AWS lambda using nodeJs

I‘m currently working with video on demand process using aws lambda in nodeJs. I want to create video on demand with settings based on video file im storing inside S3 bucket. To make such a thing i would need to extract informations(like framerates, resolution, audio bit rate...) using MediaInfo.

I found this link https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/media/running-mediainfo-as-an-aws-lambda-function/ but it is done with python. Does anyone have idea or maybe other way how to do such a thing using nodeJs environment for lambda and not python ?

You can get this information using FFmpeg and FFprobe. In AWS Lambda you use the FFmpeg Lambda layer ffmpeg-lambda-layer for FFmpeg.

Here is the code for index.js

process.env.PATH = process.env.PATH + ':' + process.env['LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT']

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const { spawn, spawnSync } = require('child_process')
const { createReadStream, createWriteStream } = require('fs')
const s3 = new AWS.S3()
const ffprobePath = '/opt/bin/ffprobe'
const ffmpegPath = '/opt/bin/ffmpeg'
const allowedTypes = ['mov', 'mpg', 'mpeg', 'mp4', 'wmv', 'avi', 'webm']
const width = 300
const height = 300
module.exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
    const srcKey = decodeURIComponent(event.Records[0].s3.object.key).replace(/\+/g, ' ')
    const bucket = event.Records[0].s3.bucket.name
    const target = s3.getSignedUrl('getObject', { Bucket: bucket, Key: srcKey, Expires: 1000 })
    let fileType = srcKey.match(/\.\w+$/)
    if (!fileType) {
        throw new Error(`invalid file type found for key: ${srcKey}`)
    }
    fileType = fileType[0].slice(1)
    if (allowedTypes.indexOf(fileType) === -1) {
        throw new Error(`filetype: ${fileType} is not an allowed type`)
    }  
 
    function getImageMediainfo() {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        var output = [];
        var ffprobe = spawn(ffprobePath, [
            '-v', 'error',
            '-select_streams', 'v',
            '-show_entries', 
            'stream', //stream=width,height:stream_tags=rotate
            '-of','json',
            target
        ]);
        ffprobe.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
            output.push(data);
        });
        ffprobe.on('error', function(err) {
            console.log('ffprobe error: ', err);
            reject()
        });
        ffprobe.on('close', function() {
            var outputStr = output.join('');
            var jsonOut = {};
            jsonOut = JSON.parse(outputStr);
            console.log('outputStr', outputStr)
            console.log('outputStr', jsonOut)
            let framerates = jsonOut.streams[0].r_frame_rate // jsonOut.streams[0].avg_frame_rate
            let resolution = {
                width: jsonOut.streams[0].width,
                height: jsonOut.streams[0].height
            }
            let audio_bit_rate = jsonOut.streams[0].bit_rate
            console.log('framerates', framerates)
            console.log('resolution', resolution)
            console.log('audio_bit_rate', audio_bit_rate)
            resolve()
        })
    })      
  }
  await getImageMediainfo();
  return console.log(`processed ${bucket}/${srcKey} successfully`)
}

Output Like This
