Audio & Video Media

Audio and video files are indexed as media.

What OneSearch extracts

When media metadata is set to Auto and ffprobe is available, OneSearch can index:

• title, artist, album, and date tags
• container format
• duration
• bitrate
• video/audio codecs
• dimensions and frame rate
• sample rate and channel count

If ffprobe is missing or fails, files fall back to metadata-only indexing.

Settings

MEDIA_METADATA_MODE=auto
MEDIA_PROBE_MAX_SIZE_MB=0
OFFICE_EXTRACTION_TIMEOUT=30

MEDIA_PROBE_MAX_SIZE_MB=0 means there is no size cap for probing. The timeout still applies.

Search behavior

Media files usually do not have full text. Search works best for filenames, paths, source names, and extracted tags such as artist/title/album.
