Policy checker verbosity

Opened this issue ยท 7 comments

When analyzing a Matroska file that fails the implementation check, is there a way to show only the parts that "fail"?

I currently download the XML/HTML and search, but thought I'd ask... ๐Ÿ˜„

Yeah you can set --ImplementationVerbosity=V (or -iv V) and the default is 5, the most verbose, but 4 will show only fails and n/a!

If you ask, it may mean that the UI is not good enough :(.
Because I understand you want to have a verbosity option, and there is already a verbosity dropbox that fits your need, in the implementation report window.
But maybe a verbosity number is not good, we should display e.g. "errors only".

Or did I miss something?

I mean, this is for the whole report though.

@JeromeMartinez I would agree that the verbosity feature is not clear

If you could add "errors only" string next to the number (like it has for 0 and 5), I think it'd be clearer ๐Ÿ˜„

btw: I just noticed that there is no "verbosity-like filter" for policies, so one cannot see only "failed" there.

(Using MediaConch Online version, because most recent .deb (17.12-1) on my machine (Xubuntu 16.04.3) freezes at 100% CPU, regardless of file. Will try to reinstall from MediaArea repositories...)

We'll add some text.
I changed the issue title for policy checker verbosity.

For the Ubuntu issue we'll do some test soon with next release, for being sure all is OK on our side.

Great! Thanks :)
