Set the log level of FFmpeg (libavformat etc)

Parameters

level (int) –

Log level. The larger, the more verbose.

The following values are common values, the corresponding ffmpeg’s -loglevel option value and desription.

  • -8 (quiet): Print no output.

  • 0 (panic): Something went really wrong and we will crash now.

  • 8 (fatal): Something went wrong and recovery is not possible. For example, no header was found for a format which depends on headers or an illegal combination of parameters is used.

  • 16 (error): Something went wrong and cannot losslessly be recovered. However, not all future data is affected.

  • 24 (warning): Something somehow does not look correct. This may or may not lead to problems.

  • 32 (info): Standard information.

  • 40 (verbose): Detailed information.

  • 48 (debug): Stuff which is only useful for libav* developers.

  • 56 (trace): Extremely verbose debugging, useful for libav* development.
