Patch to add a quiet flag to CLI

[nikwest]

Hi,

running MediaForkCLI with XGrid makes a lot of noise updating the status.
I added a quiet flag to make the output less verbouse.

I added a quiet flag to make the output less verbouse.

Now that sr55 has the CLI help cleaned up and organized, I figured this would be a good time to commit this.

nikwest, how is this supposed to function? I just patched it into the latest source, and while it reduces the frequency of the progress updates, it doesn't not stop them completely.

Is that how it's supposed to work, just lessening the frequency of updates? Or should it be displaying no progress at all until the encode is finished?

Trying to figure out whether to check this into the SVN as-is.

I also saw this with xgrid. A simple solution is to redirect unwanted output to /dev/null.

The larger question that I have is about distributed processing. CLI users will be using rsh/ssh with forks to distribute jobs around the network, and users like you and I may even be able to use xgrid, but what about the GUI users? I would love to see an mDNSResponder/Bonjour/ZeroConf implementation get into the GUI so that all users could take advantage of all of the computers in their house. I'm just yapping here; but Hell, it's 1:30 in the AM. If you can't yap at 1:30 AM, when can you yap?

Hi,

sorry haven't read the forum for quite a while. Yes, it just reduces the frequency. Not sure if anybody needs it, I needed it to keep my xgrid output low. I did not want to send it to /dev/null completely but still have at least some output to implement progess bar etc.

Yes, it just reduces the frequency.

Cool, I'll make sure to commit it, then, after we get this first 0.8.5 beta out. PM me with your name/email as you want it in the AUTHORS file.
