Looks great. Not sure why CI is failing - probably not related to your PR though. I'll merge once I have time to fix CI.

Thanks for the changes.

This doesn't seem to be working:

extra = {"sexagesimal":None}

try:
probe = ffmpeg.probe(FILE,extra)
except ffmpeg.Error as e:
print(e.stderr, file=sys.stderr)
sys.exit(1)

Doesn't seem to work; however, it looks like it should

ffmpeg.probe accepts params as **kwargs. Can you try:

probe = ffmpeg.probe(FILE, sexagesimal=None)?

probe = ffmpeg.probe(FILE, **extra) should also work.

probe = ffmpeg.probe(FILE, **extra) should also work.

Yes, it is the same. But your example in the previous message is without **

Just tested

probe = ffmpeg.probe(FILE, sexagesimal=None)

It work properly. It shows duration in format 'duration': '0:01:33.994000'

That worked. My programming skills have also improved. I am starting to get a better understanding of the API.
