merge log output direction issue

[dericed]

Hi @JeromeMartinez, I'm testing --merge-info-output related to https://github.com/mipops/dvrescue/issues/226.

My command: avfctl -cmd capture - | dvrescue - -m out.dv --merge-info-output out.log -v 7

The out.log contains:

     #|SS:FF|U|S|Comments
     0 26;07 0   (    13 frames)
    13 26;20 M
    14 26;21 0   (    41 frames)
    55 28;02 X P,  945 block picks &  495 remaining block errors
    56 28;03 X P, 1287 block picks &  153 remaining block errors
    57 28;04 0   (    41 frames)
    98 29;15 X P, 1087 block picks &  353 remaining block errors
[... cut ...]

and the sdterr output includes:

It looks like the header part of the merge log it going to sdterr but then the frame based info of the merge log is directed to the output file.

[JeromeMartinez]

the issue was only in the intermediate snapshots of the stdin PR, please check last stdin build.

[dericed]

Trying latest build 2021-0210-2 but it simply stops immediately on a piped input. cat example.dv | dvrescue - -m out.dv

Just ends with no stdout or stderr, even if with -v 9.

[JeromeMartinez]

@dericed looks like it was an intermediate build with old source code, I tried the 2021-02-11 (latest) version and it is fine.

Still an issue here:

% avfctl -cmd capture - | dvrescue - -m out.dv --merge-info-output out.log -v 7

The command simply stops very soon after running.

% ls -l out.dv
ls: out.dv: No such file or directory

% avfctl -cmd capture - | dvrescue - -m out.dv -v 7

but okat without this output option.

% dvrescue --version
DVRescue v.0.20.11.20210211 by MIPoPS.

Also please rename --merge-info--output to --report, unless @privatezero has a better suggestion.

[JeromeMartinez]

% avfctl -cmd capture - | dvrescue - -m out.dv --merge-info-output out.log -v 7 Error: in order to avoid mistakes, provide output file names after input file names.

The tool rejects the options so stops. --> % avfctl -cmd capture - | dvrescue - -m out.dv --merge-log out.log -v 7

(as --merge-info-output is no more an option, it is considered as an input name. I need to change this behavior and reject options if they are not existing files instead of currently just ignore the option / file name)

Also please rename --merge-info--output to --report

it is a merge report, not the report of analysis (the XML), I am afraid that such option may be misleading. --merge-report?

[dericed]

K to —merge-report.

[dericed]

Or maybe —merge-log. @privatezero ?

[privatezero]

Hmmm maybe --merge-log is the most self descriptive?

[dericed]

resolved in https://github.com/mipops/dvrescue/pull/235/files as --merge-log
