# wavinfo
|
|
|
|
The `wavinfo` package allows you to probe WAVE and [RF64/WAVE files][eburf64] and extract extended metadata, with an emphasis on film, video and professional music production metadata.
|
|
|
|
`wavinfo` reads:
|
|
|
|
* __Broadcast-WAVE__ metadata<sup>[1][ebu]</sup>, including embedded program
|
|
loudness and coding history, if extant. This also includes the SMPTE UMID<sup>[2][smpte_330m2011]</sup>.
|
|
* __iXML__ production recorder metadata<sup>[3][ixml]</sup>, including project, scene, and take tags, recorder notes
|
|
and file family information.
|
|
* Most of the common __RIFF INFO__<sup>[4][info-tags]</sup> metadata fields.
|
|
* The __wav format__ is also parsed, so you can access the basic sample rate and channel count
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
In progress:
|
|
* ADM metadata consilient with the output of the __Dolby RMU__, perhaps later fully complaint with [ITU BS.2076-2][adm].
|
|
* iXML `STEINBERG` sound library attributes.
|
|
* __NetMix__ library attributes.
|
|
* Pro Tools __embedded regions__.

## Demonstration
|
|
|
|
The entry point for wavinfo is the WavInfoReader class.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from wavinfo import WavInfoReader
|
|
|
|
path = '../tests/test_files/A101_1.WAV'
|
|
|
|
info = WavInfoReader(path)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The package also installs a shell command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ wavinfo test_files/A101_1.WAV
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic WAV Data
|
|
|
|
The length of the file in frames (interleaved samples) and bytes is available, as is the contents of the format chunk.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
(info.data.frame_count, info.data.byte_count)
|
|
>>> (240239, 1441434)
|
|
(info.fmt.sample_rate, info.fmt.channel_count, info.fmt.block_align, info.fmt.bits_per_sample)
|
|
>>> (48000, 2, 6, 24)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Platform Lifecycle Stuff
|
|
|
|
Python 3.5 support is deprecated.
