Inputs

• ffmpegPath — Path to FFmpeg binary (default is 'ffmpeg').
• ffprobePath — Path to FFprobe binary (default is 'ffprobe').

Each interval indicates the start and end of detected silence in the format [{start: , end: , duration: }, ...]. If no silence is detected, the intervals array will be empty.

Examples

Example 1: Detect silence in an audio file called 'example.wav' with default thresholds.

Set 'anInput' to 'example.wav'.

Example 2: Detect silence in a video file with custom thresholds for noise and duration.

Set 'anInput' to 'video.mp4', 'silenceNoiseDb' to -40, and 'silenceMinDur' to 1.
