avidemux cli verbose level

[Spellbinder]

Hi,

Tried http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=using:command_line_usage and Google but found nothing:

Is there a way to set the verbose level of the avidemux command line so it does not produce a lot of output and shows only errors?

Thanks,

Spellbinder

Not from avidemux, as far as I can see.

Perhaps with redirection?

avidemux3_cli > /dev/null
And perhaps only the standard output is redirected?:

avidemux prints everything to stdout

https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/blob/master/avidemux_core/ADM_core/src/ADM_debug.cpp

the indirect_printf_long routine takes a log level, but nothing uses that routine.  You'd basically want to disable the ADM_info2 method to silence most of the output.  Or make ADM_warning2 and ADM_error2 go to stderr and then use redirection for stdout.
