Hi Gyan,

the problem that I see here is that it's not machine-readable and would require 
non-trivial parsing to translate back to the actual information behind it.
I think that either a separate sub-section or at least three separate values 
would be better.

I can add a delimiter like |

e.g.

yes|time(pts),frame-index|demuxer,packet-scan|fast

All of the phrases for an attribute are unique, and for that, they just need to grep, not parse the string.
Most CLI users will only care about two things: yes/no and forward-only.

Another note: When you skim through the ffprobe code, you can see that ffprobe rarely 
does its own "numbers-to-string" translations (only for cases of absence, like 
'none', 'unknown', etc.). Normally, those translations are included in the libs where 
they are defined.

The information is stored as bitflags in an int. How would the lib do it?

Oh, and I believe you also need to add new output fields to the xml schema file 
(ffprobe.xsd).

Will do.

Regards,
Gyan



Still like it! 😊

Thanks,
sw
