 ͏    Extended from: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10998

 ͏    The output without coloring effectively loses significant information
 (the output type: i.e. "warning", "error" etc.).
 ͏    A simple text description prepending the relevant line [1] would be
 preferable:
 ͏    "W/" - "warning"
 ͏    "E/" - "error"
 ͏    "D/" - "debug"
 ͏    "T/" - "trace"

 ͏    Without the verbosity and unfitness of
 [https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Generic-options ͏"-v level"] alike.
 ͏    And may make use of the Logcat highlighter.

 [ [1]
 ͏    For multi-line output: prepending only once.
 ͏    E.g.
 [[
 D/Transform tree:
 ͏    ...
 ]] ]

 [ [2]
 ͏    "I/" - "info" is excessive.
 ͏    Unsure if "V/" - "verbose" should exist: mostly indistinguishable
 from "debug". ]
