Using

Create a new Cordova Project

$ cordova create hello com.example.helloapp Hello

make sure you have cocoapods On MacOS

sudo gem install cocoapods

Install the plugin

$ cd hello
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/adminy/cordova-plugin-ffmpeg.git

Edit www/js/index.js and add the following code inside onDeviceReady

ffmpeg.exec("-i someinput.mp4 -vn -c:a copy out.mp3", (success) => alert(success), (failure) => alert(failure));

Make sure you have the files that will be required by ffmpeg

You can also run the FFProbe command to get video information:

ffmpeg.probe(
  "somefile.mp4",
  (result) => {
    console.log("Video details:");
    console.log(result.format.bit_rate);
    console.log(result.format.duration);
    console.log(result.format.filename);
    console.log(result.format.format_name);
    console.log(result.format.nb_programs);
    console.log(result.format.nb_streams);
    console.log(result.format.probe_score);
    console.log(result.format.size);
    console.log(result.format.start_time);

    // You also get details about the video/audio streams of the file
    console.log(result.streams[0].codec_name); // e.g. h264
    console.log(result.streams[0].codec_type); // e.g. 'video'
    console.log(result.streams[1].codec_name); // e.g. aac
