This change makes it more clear when using the scale and scale2ref
filters what is actually happening. The old format did not
differentiate between scale and scale2ref which would make it seem
that, when using scale2ref, the ref was what was truly being scaled.

Old format for both scale and scale2ref:

w:640 h:360 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1 -> w:160 h:120 fmt:rgb24 sar:4/3 flags:0x2

The left side is the input and the right side is the output. While
this is sufficiently clear for scale, for scale2ref it appears to
conflate the main input with the reference input. To be fair that is
exactly what the code is doing (and on purpose) but that's not a very
intuitive implementation detail to expose to the user. Now that the
main input's constants are exposed in scale2ref it makes even more
sense to correct this.

New format for scale:

in  w:320 h:240 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1
out w:80 h:60 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1 flags:0xc0000

New format for scale2ref:

in  w:320 h:240 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1
ref w:640 h:360 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1
out w:160 h:120 fmt:rgb24 sar:4/3 flags:0x2

The increase in clarity is self-evident.

yes but its much harder to grep for as its not a single line anymore

I agree that it's not going to be as pretty a regular expression to
grep through, as there is 33% more data, but it should still be doable
without too much effort. How important is it that we maintain "API"
compatibility on verbose CLI output?

ffmpeg [...] scale2ref=0:0 [...] -v verbose - 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -oP 'regex'

Where regex is:

(in|out|ref) +w:(\d+) h:(\d+) fmt:(\w+) sar:(\d+)\/(\d+)(?:
flags:0x[[:xdigit:]]+)?

Assuming GNU grep 2.25+, you'll get:

in  w:320 h:240 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1
ref w:640 h:360 fmt:rgb24 sar:1/1
out w:640 h:360 fmt:rgb24 sar:3/4 flags:0x2

It also works with BSD grep 2.5.1-FreeBSD included in macOS if you use
the -E option instead of -P. These would be considered three separate
matches so if you're using a good regex engine it'd be pretty easy to
loop over each match, check the first group to determine if it's in,
ref, or out and act accordingly on the rest of the captured data. You
could also, if you wanted, assume that the first line is in and the
second line is out if you only have two matches (or lines even) and if
you have three matches/lines the first is in, second is ref, third is
out. If you needed it to work with less sophisticated engines it
shouldn't be too hard to dumb down the regex above.

Live-ish example: https://regex101.com/r/wvHLpa/1

Is there a special property that makes single lines much easier to
grep? Something specific to bash? I wouldn't think bash would have any
problems looping over this by line.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Michael,

Hoping to get your thoughts on the grepability issue (wrt my previous
email). If it needs to be on a single line there's no reason the new format
cannot be changed to do so (removing the \n and adding a separator,
really). However I'm a big fan of it as-is (for both scale and scale2ref)
and I can't find a case of my own where the regex I proposed would be
troublesome.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the grepability issue,
which I believe is the only potential issue/breaking change with this
patch.

Thanks,
Kevin

You wrote something like:

"ffmpeg [...] scale2ref=0:0 [...] -v verbose - 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -oP
'regex'

Where regex is: [..]"

But my grep (Mac) has no -P option... I'd encourage you to keep things
simple and use a non-\n delimiter between the lines so non-GNU grep can
continue to be used for this also...

Yes, -E works on Mac.

Thanks! Are there any remaining blockers for a potential merge?

There is no gurantee that 3 av_log() calls will be executed with no
other log calls from other threads between.
A multiline grep is not reliable in this case
