No, not really. The "metadata=mode=print" was meant literally, as it was the filter I mentioned above. > "filter1" not found. > ".metadata" not found. > "mode" not found. > "print" not found. "filter1" on the other hand was an example for a preceding filter in the filter chain, which creates metadata to be processed or displayed. From your final remarks in your previous thread, I thought you had wanted to access the metadata created by the idet filter. > (https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-bitstream-filters.html)... Bitstream filters are not filters, in your sense. Sorry for the confusion. Check the regular filters' documentation: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#metadata_002c-ametadata > It sure would be nice if ffmpeg documentation had a search function. I know my way around ffmpeg, and even I use a search engine once in a while, just because I'm lazy. ;-) > I'd tried google advanced search of 'https://ffmpeg.org' for a variety > of metadata parameter names and got links to source code > (ffmpeg.org/doxygen) but not links to documentation. That should actually work just fine. Google "ffmpeg filter metadata" It brings up this interesting ffmpeg wiki entry: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/FilteringGuide#FilterMetadata which also links directly to the filter's page, as I quoted above (but found without Google). > Could you give me a push? There's also a documentation page which contains all the sub-pages. Quite handy for searching with Ctrl+F in your browser: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html Good luck, Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
