#6928 closed defect (needs_more_info)

Output log messaging is impractical, either nothing, or spammed messages

Description

Summary of the bug:

If I set the loglevel to warning or error, the log output is empty, if I set the loglevel to info or verbose, I always get the full detailed reports of this filter message, there is nothing in-between that would get me just the progress updates without these messages.

As the subtitles get overlaid over the video, it's producing these messages, however the output is fine.

This message should go into the debug or trace category since it's not a warning and not an error and doesn't even talk about anything going wrong, the results are successful, so it's not informing anything, and since it's going to prevent any progress from showing, I think it doesn't even count for verbose.

THE MESSAGE IS:
Changing frame properties on the fly is not supported by all filters.

I had an idea for long now that loging in ffmpeg should be improved in many areas. These points below should be considered seriously, even if this one message is handled and moved to debug or trace or whatever, I still would like to see the actual logging logic overhauled for any future such messages or circumstances.

  1. An option should be created that truncates all these repeating messages and simply keeps driving the count number up to some acceptably high value (int32 maxvalue) instead of a fixed time delay which currently sits around a few 100 miliseconds or so, it's still enough on a long 2-3 hour haul that it exceeds the commandprompt buffer on windows (win7, didn't try in win10)
  1. The default timer for repriting the same message could simply be increased. Or even better, it could be based on the loglevel, the lesser the severity the more delay would there be before same message and the repeated message counter is reprinted.
  1. The realtime repeated message counter would be removed and replaced with the progress line instead, the counter would count-up hiddenly and would just print to the log above without interferring with the realtime progress indicators.

I had more ideas but those are probably more suitable for another ticket, if I have something substantial around this I will comment later, but probably this isn't the place to discuss various other things regarding messaging, unless someone corrects me.
