Public bug reported: ffprobe (part of ffmpeg package) has regressed during last months. This used to work:
$ ffprobe -hide_banner -loglevel fatal -show_error -show_format -show_streams -print_format json ../path/to/video.mp4 However, now the results are { ../path/to/video.mp4: Protocol not found "error": { "code": -1330794744, "string": "Protocol not found" } } no matter which file (or directory) has been given as argument.
