ffprobe -v 0 -of csv=p=0 -select_streams 0 -show_entries stream=r_frame_rate infile

Result:

24000/1001

Here is a python function based on Steven Penny's answer using ffprobe that gives exact frame rate

ffprobe 'Upstream Color 2013 1080p x264.mkv' -v 0 -select_streams v -print_format flat -show_entries stream=r_frame_rate

import sys

import os

import subprocess

def get_frame_rate(filename):

    if not os.path.exists(filename):

        sys.stderr.write("ERROR: filename %r was not found!" % (filename,))

        return -1         

    out = subprocess.check_output(["ffprobe",filename,"-v","0","-select_streams","v","-print_format","flat","-show_entries","stream=r_frame_rate"])

    rate = out.split('=')[1].strip()[1:-1].split('/')

    if len(rate)==1:

        return float(rate[0])

    if len(rate)==2:

        return float(rate[0])/float(rate[1])

    return -1

This is a python script to do this using mplayer, in case anyone is interested. It is used path/to/script path/to/movie_name1 path/to/movie/name2 etc

#!/usr/bin/python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-



import subprocess

import re

import sys



pattern = re.compile(r'(d{2}.d{3}) fps')

for moviePath in sys.argv[1:]:

    mplayerOutput = subprocess.Popen(("mplayer", "-identify", "-frames", "0", "o-ao", "null", moviePath), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]

    fps = pattern.search(mplayerOutput).groups()[0]

    print fps

The alternative to command line, is looking at the properties of your file via context menu in Nautilus (graphical file manager). For audio/video files you get an additional tab there with extra informations.

You can right click the target file, Properties, Audio/Video but you will not get the exact framerate. To get a precise framerate you can install MediaInfo.

Just in case someone stumbles upon this... you can of course use input arg as the path ;)

import numpy as np

import os

import subprocess



def getFramerate():

    con = "ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=avg_frame_rate -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 D:\Uni\Seminar\leecher\Ninja\stream1.mp4"



    proc = subprocess.Popen(con, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

    framerateString = str(proc.stdout.read())[2:-5]

    a = int(framerateString.split('/')[0])

    b = int(framerateString.split('/')[1])

    return int(np.round(np.divide(a,b)))

I usually use exiftool to get info of any file type...
For example with command exiftool file.swf I can know the framerate of any swf file, something I cannot achieve with ffmpeg

ffprobe <media> 2>&1| grep ",* fps" | cut -d "," -f 5 | cut -d " " -f 2
