When downloading a live stream on Linux using ffmpeg I get a lot of noise on the
screen like:

How can I reduce this to only show some progress messages without all this
noise?
Is there a verbocity setting I can use?

My download script reformats the video output on the go to a specific size such
that it can be viewed directly once it is done without further processing.


Yes it is possible using the following options

-nostats
does not show encoding progress/messages at all

-loglevel
can be used to specify what messages are logged/displayed, "info" is the default setting, "warning" logs warnings and errors, "error" only logs errors, and "debug" logs everything.
