Core media engine contract used by {@link CodecMedia}.

<p>

The current default implementation focuses on practical probing/validation workflows and

light-weight conversion routing. For richer embedded metadata (for example MP3 album cover/APIC),

callers should treat {@link #probe(Path)} output as technical media info rather than full tag extraction.

public interface CodecMediaEngine

Methods 8

get

ProbeResult get(Path input) throws CodecMediaException

Convenience alias of {@link #probe(Path)}.

@param: input media file path
@return: probe result describing detected media characteristics
@throws: CodecMediaException when probing fails

probe

ProbeResult probe(Path input) throws CodecMediaException

Detects media format and returns technical stream/container information.

@param: input media file path
@return: probe result containing mime, extension, media type, streams, and basic tags
@throws: CodecMediaException when the file is missing or parsing fails

readMetadata

Metadata readMetadata(Path input) throws CodecMediaException

Reads metadata associated with the file. <p> In the default stub implementation this reads sidecar metadata plus base probe fields, not full embedded tag catalogs for every format.

@param: input media file path
@return: metadata entries
@throws: CodecMediaException when reading fails

writeMetadata

void writeMetadata(Path input, Metadata metadata) throws CodecMediaException

Writes metadata associated with the file. <p> In the default stub implementation this writes a sidecar properties file.

@param: input media file path
@param: metadata metadata entries to persist
@throws: CodecMediaException when validation or writing fails

extractAudio

ExtractionResult extractAudio(Path input, Path outputDir, AudioExtractOptions options) throws CodecMediaException

Extracts audio from an input media file into the given output directory.

@param: input source media file
@param: outputDir target directory for extracted output
@param: options extraction options; implementation defaults may be used when {@code null}
@return: extraction result describing output file and format
@throws: CodecMediaException when extraction is unsupported or fails

convert

ConversionResult convert(Path input, Path output, ConversionOptions options) throws CodecMediaException

Converts media according to the requested options.

@param: input source media file
@param: output output media file path
@param: options conversion options; implementation defaults may be used when {@code null}
@return: conversion result
@throws: CodecMediaException when route is unsupported or conversion fails

play

PlaybackResult play(Path input, PlaybackOptions options) throws CodecMediaException

Starts playback/viewing for supported media.

@param: input source media file
@param: options playback options controlling dry-run and external app behavior
@return: playback result including backend and started status
@throws: CodecMediaException when playback cannot be started

validate

ValidationResult validate(Path input, ValidationOptions options) throws CodecMediaException

Validates file existence and optional strict format constraints.

@param: input media file path
@param: options validation options; implementation defaults may be used when {@code null}
@return: validation result with warnings/errors
