Is there a script(bash, python etc.) that outputs the total duration time of all video files in a Directory(recursively) ?
For e.g on executing the following :
script mypath
it gives x minutes/hours .
First install mediainfo with:
sudo apt-get install mediainfo
You can now use the following oneliner to get the total video time of a directory:
find . -type f -exec mediainfo --Inform="General;%Duration%" "{}" ; 2>/dev/null | awk '{s+=$1/1000} END {h=s/3600; s=s%3600; printf "%.2d:%.2d
", int(h), int(s/60)}'
The find command will call mediainfo for every files recursively and get the video duration in ms.
Then the awk part will sum those values and return the total time in the HH:MM format.
Update: avprobe is indeed faster than mediainfo (thanks @souravc)
For better results please use the command below instead (you'll need to sudo apt-get install libav-tools first)
find . -type f -exec avprobe -v quiet -show_format_entry duration "{}" ; | awk '{s+=$1} END {h=s/3600; s=s%3600; printf "%.2d:%.2d
", int(h), int(s/60)}'
