Use ffprobe, grep and cut to list metadata of video.mp4 and 'grep' the duration value of the video.

The -select_streams parameter to ffprobe will select the specific stream you want to evaluate. Acceptable values are: a for audio, v for video and d for data.

Running the command without | grep "duration=" | cut -d '=' -f 2 will log to the screen all the metadata stored on the file container format. The data includes: width and height of the video, codec_name, codec_type, avg_frame_rate (fps), nb_frames (total number of frames) and more.

The following is a ffprobe dump of the file yoga.mp4.
