Hello,
You can install avtranscoder using homebrew. All the documentation can be found here.

After this install, the avtranscoder applications should be in your PATH, so you will be able to do something like this:

avmeta /path/to/a/file/to/analyse

Ok the compilation with homebrew seems to failed. I will have a look.

Hi !

Sorry for the delay, I fix the issue. tell me if it works.
Just for precision, the most recent tap needed to use is my homebrew-video
Tell me if it's fixed correctly for you (@sfahadshahzad) too.

this line will be added to fix this problem.

It seems that some ffmpeg libraries (avcodec and avformat) depends on some external dependencies (x264, zlib...), and I suppose there is an error at link time.
Could you show us the output of this command:

brew info ffmpeg

[MarcAntoine-Arnaud]

@sfahadshahzad do you have a specific FFmpeg version ? do you have rebuild locally ? or installed via brew also ?

On my side I try on an another OSX, and it works.
Regarding dependencies I have:
