Take a look at this answer. The problem is that the exact number of frames is often not stored in metadata and can only be truly found (not estimated) by decoding the file and figuring out how many there are. If you only need an estimate, you can just use the framerate and duration provided by
ffmpeg -i <filename>to estimate.
