My file has a SIDE_DATA tag which is not expected in the code.

I update the code and added some logic to ignore the SIDE_DATA for now.

p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

        stream = False
        self.streams = []
        self.video = []
        self.audio = []
        self.subtitle = []
        self.attachment = []
        
        side_data = False

        for line in iter(p.stdout.readline, b''):
            line = line.decode('UTF-8')
            
            if(side_data):
                continue
                #Skip Side data tags
                
            
            if '[SIDE_DATA]' in line:
                side_data = True
                print("Found side data")
                continue
                #Ignore SIDE DATA
            elif '[/SIDE_DATA]' in line and stream:
                side_data = False
                continue
            

            if '[STREAM]' in line:
                stream = True
                data_lines = []
            elif '[/STREAM]' in line and stream:
                stream = False
                # noinspection PyUnboundLocalVariable
                self.streams.append(FFStream(data_lines))
            elif stream:
                data_lines.append(line)

        self.metadata = {}
        is_metadata = False
        stream_metadata_met = False

Just tried your code as I have the same issue in a project of mine and it did not work for me. It prints "Found side data" and retrieves media information, but I do not get any data for the video/audio streams anymore.
For your file the stream data is before the SideData, in mine it comes after the side data.

You are right. My logic is wrong. All the data after the SIDE_DATA will be ignored. In my case it worked as I was only using data that was "before" the SIDE_DATA.

I did not have time to test, or do a proper diff. Give it a try and give me some feedback. Later I will try it on my side.

I am not involved in the development of this code, but I will propose a merge if this works fine.

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you try to move this piece of code below:

if(side_data):
continue
#Skip Side data tags

---

for line in iter(p.stdout.readline, b''):
line = line.decode('UTF-8')

       # Piece of code was here
        
        if '[SIDE_DATA]' in line:
            side_data = True
            print("Found side data")
            continue
            #Ignore SIDE DATA
        elif '[/SIDE_DATA]' in line and stream:
            side_data = False
            continue

    #New place for the piece of code
    if(side_data):
            continue
            #Skip Side data tags

    ### Rest of the code continues

If modified like below the code seems to work fine. At least for my file I can confirm that all data is now retrieved as it should

        for line in iter(p.stdout.readline, b''):
                line = line.decode('UTF-8')
    
                if '[SIDE_DATA]' in line:
                    side_data = True
                    print("Found side data")
                    continue
                    #Ignore SIDE DATA
                elif '[/SIDE_DATA]' in line and stream:
                    side_data = False
                    continue
 
                if (side_data):
                    continue
                    #Skip Side data tags 

                if '[STREAM]' in line:
                    stream = True
                    data_lines = []
                elif '[/STREAM]' in line and stream:
                    stream = False
                    # noinspection PyUnboundLocalVariable
                    self.streams.append(FFStream(data_lines))
                elif stream:
                    data_lines.append(line)

I'm uploading an iphone created MOV file and getting this exact issue with ffprobe-python, but nothing seems wrong on command line?

[hugomcruz]

https://github.com/hugomcruz/ffprobe-python

I did a fork where I fixed some of those issues about 2 years ago when I created a programme to process my iphone videos.
