Report

The process report captures the log output from FFmpeg. The output is split up in a prelude and log output. The prelude is everything before the first progress line is printed. Everything after that is part of the log. The progress lines are not part of the report. Each log line comes with a timestamp of when it has been captured from the FFmpeg output.

The process report helps you to analyze any problems with the FFmpeg command line build from the inputs, outputs, and their options in the process configuration.

If the process is running, the FFmpeg logs will be written to the current report. As soon as the process finishes, the report will be moved to the history. The report history is also part of the response of this API endpoint.

You can define the number of log lines and how many reports should be kept in the history in the config for the datarhei Core in the ffmpeg.log section.

The following is an example of a report.
