Francesco Cosoleto <cosol...@gmail.com> added the comment: I am running ffmpeg from a script using the following:
ffmpeg -i $INPUT_FILE $OUTPUT_OPTS $OUTPUT_FILE 2> /dev/null I want to suppress only the banner but all screen output is written to stderr so stream data, progress messages, the completion report and error messages are suppressed also. Redirecting 1> /dev/null of course suppresses nothing. Can show_banner() in cmdutils.c be modified to write to stdout rather than stderr? Then using the 1> /dev/null redirection will suppress the banner and still allow other messages to be displayed during conversion. I don't know if there are any other undesirable implications of such a change. I have nearly zero c programming experience but to my untrained eye it seems like a simple change. I don't know how to create a proper patch but I've attached a diff file with the suggested change. ____________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <ffmpeg_iss...@live.polito.it> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue613> ____________________________________________________
