Sorry, the description got lost:
Under certain circumstances ffprobe can produce invalid JSON output when its asked to only include specific tags and there are additional frame tags. Specifically the
-show_entries frame=pkt_pts_time:tagsis what causes the problem, usingframe_tagsinstead of justtagsworks around the issue.
