CLI patch to output title info to easily parseable format

Post by flight16 »

I would like to create a patch to modify PrintTitleInfo() in test.c to optionally display as json/xml/yml/etc so it's parseable. I'm building a batch encoding workflow and parsing text isn't so fun. I imagine it would be useful to some other CLI users as well since.

My question to Handbrake lead developers: are you willing to consider such a patch for Handbrake's CLI?

Thanks for reading.

There's already a patch lying around. I believe the consensus is that it's too limited in scope and that proper JSON support (not limited to the CLI specifically) would be preferred.

I'll let others comment on this further as I'm not the one tracking this particular feature.

Thanks. I also asked in IRC and j45 also mentioned the patch and gave me the link to https://reviews.handbrake.fr/r/224/ . It's two years old. My plan is to try that change out on head, make any tweaks needed to get it compiling, test it, and then submit a second review.
