You have to specify one input file.
Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffprobe'.

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

mpegts as a format just doesn't store a duration. There is no data to provide, so no data to show.

the test input file can be download from: ​https://pan.baidu.com/s/1miLS5G8

The demuxer provides the information thats stored directly in the file on a container level, and there is no duration there, it is not designed to extract the audio duration of every known audio codec. You'll get the audio duration after decoding.
