💖 YAMDI(1) — yet another metadata injector (flv) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section of the universe, where we talk about yamdi. yes it's a manual page. no it does not have to be boring. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

yamdi — yet another metadata injector (flv) 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

yamdi -i input file [-x xml file | -o output file [-x xml file]] [-t
temporary file] [-c creator] [-a interval] [-skMXw] [-h]

look at her. iconic. flags everywhere. it's giving "I know exactly what I'm doing" 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so yamdi literally stands for Yet Another MetaData Injector, and that's exactly what she is: a metadata injector for FLV files. what does she do though? she adds the onMetaData event to your FLV files. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it slayfully ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -i — the source FLV file. and here's the cute part: if the file name is -, the input file gets read from stdin. in that case you gotta use the -t option to tell her where the temporary file goes 🎀
  • -o — the resulting FLV file, metatags included. if the output file is -, the FLV file gets written to stdout. yes, she streams. main character behavior fr fr 💜
  • -x — an XML file holding the resulting metadata information. and get this: if you omit the output file, only the metadata will be generated. metadata only, no FLV, she's being minimal 💅
  • -t — a temporary file to store the source FLV file in, for when the input file is being read from stdin. your little storage bestie 🌸
  • -c — a string that gets written into the creator tag. put your name on it, you made it 👑
  • -s, -l — add the onLastSecond event. ⚠️ heads up though: the -l option is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. use -s, she's the one 💖
  • -k — add the onLastKeyframe event. keyframe girlies rise 🔥
  • -M — strip all metadata from the FLV. and no, she's not playing: the -s and -k options will be ignored when you use this. total wipe, no exceptions 💀
  • -X — omit the keyframes tag in the XML output. bye tag 🙈
  • -a — time in milliseconds between keyframes, for when there is only audio. ⚠️ this option gets ignored if there is a video stream, so don't fight it. and if you omit this option entirely, no keyframes will be added. no -a, no keyframes, periodt ✨
  • -w — replace the input file with the output file. plot twist: -i and -o are required to be different files, otherwise this option gets ignored. she said no self-overwriting today 🚫
  • -h — show summary of options. the classic. the little help menu bestie 🫶

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

yamdi exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. clean exit = slay. nonzero = something went sideways, go check 😭
