#2460 closed patch (fixed)

Add proper cout buffered logging of libavcodec

Reported by: paulx@… Owned by: Janne Grunau
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.21
Component: mythtv Version: head
Severity: medium Keywords: logging
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

I got this idea from mythtv/programs/mythtranscode/mpeg2fix.cpp. By using the av_log_set_callback we can set how the libavcodec library displays its information and error messages. Even what level of message to display too or not at all.

The biggest downside seem to be where to put it. I put it in the mythtv/libs/libmyth/mythcontext.cpp file. While used everywhere libavcodec is used, it is also used when libavcodec isn't. This requires libavutil beening linked into mythuitest, mythbrowser and mtd.

This is a good starting point. It should use the myth VERBOSE macros with an appropriate level ie. VB_LIBAV rather than cout to print the messages.

Replying to stuarta:

This is a good starting point. It should use the myth VERBOSE macros with an appropriate level ie. VB_LIBAV rather than cout to print the messages.

Should this stop the stream related information I'm seeing in my mythbackend log:

I've manually applied the patches (files have changed since diffs made) and still see these entries which are not timestamped.

(In [14411]) Fixes #2460. Wrap libav* log output in AVFormatDecoder

Allows us to filter the output with mythtv's verbose levels. All error and fatal libav log levels go to VB_IMPORTANT, the rest goes to VB_LIBAV and is usually ignored.
