I'm looking for a Python (3) library to access (read only at present)
the metadata in MP4 video files, in particular I want to get at dates

What's available to do this? Ideally something available in the Ubuntu
repositories but I can install with PIP if necessary.

I thought it only dealt about audio.
That's why I hadn't thought it would help me as I'm after getting
metadata from an MP4 video file but I guess the metadata format may be
the same regardless of whether it's video or audio.
Easiest way I found was run ffprobe command via popen. It can output the
information you need in json format which is easily readable with the
json library.
command:
ffprobe -v warning -i "input.mp4" -show_streams -of json
python:
Popen(command, stderr=STDOUT, stdout=PIPE, encoding='utf8')
json:
json.loads(''.join(p.stdout.readlines()))
It's easy to find a version of ffmpeg/ffprobe for every platform.
