Header information of .wmv/.asf-files under Linux

Hi

I wanna extract the header information of wmv-files under linux but I didnīt find such a program.

Does anyone know a (commandline)program which extracts headerinformation like playtime, resolution, used codec... ?

My goal is to get this data into a php-script. So I donīt mind if someone has a solution to extract these data directly with php. (I also didnīt find such a php-class which would serve my needs)

Greets and THX4help

Im not sure if this program does it..but you might want to check it out.

mplayer for linux.

i can play videos under console and stuff, kinda neat, it MIGHT provide the information you require...other than that, i have no idea =]

Hmm... I think mplayer needs an x-server. But I need the info on a system on which no x-server is running. Do you know if mplayer does the information-job without xserver?
Otherwise Iīll test it out.

THX for help so far

Mplayer won't do anything without X. Try getID3() instead.
