Thanks, I know this, but this is not a known format that can be easily parsed like a plain CSV file. At least the way the SITI filter is used, regular users just want simple output in a file that they can directly load into Excel, Python, whatever. (Just like for VMAF.) I understand why you wouldn't want each filter to have its own IO functionality, but in terms of usability, only having the metadata option would be extremely bad. (Perhaps the real solution would be to have the metadata filter generate different kinds of known output formats.)
