[FFmpeg-user] Display statistics on decode error

[Remi Achard]

Hi,

I would like to use ffmpeg to check video files integrity in the sense that
every frame can be successfully decoded.

The command line I’m using looks like this :
ffmpeg -v error -xerror -i /my/video/path -f null -

It works but don’t give any clue on where the error was in the stream.

[prores @ 0x7f9761812e00] invalid plane data size
    Last message repeated 78 times
/my/video/path: corrupt decoded frame in stream 0

Ideally, I want to know at what frame the error occurred, to do this I
proposed a patch (
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2019-July/246498.html), that seems
to work ok. The idea is to only show where the decoding failed without
printing each and every frame statistic along the way (to keep reports and
buffer from overflowing). The command looks like this (notice the verbose
log level because the final statistics are logged as verbose level) :

ffmpeg -v verbose -xerror -i /my/video/path -f null -

With this I know that error occurred near frame 1975.

Is there a way to already achieve this with ffmpeg-master ?

(Sorry I realise I should have posted here first)

Thanks,
