EXTRA_OUTPUT_OPTIONS are not parsed correctly: `-vbr` is parsed like `-v br`

Checklist (please tick all boxes)

  • I am using the latest version of ffmpeg-normalize (run pip3 install --upgrade ffmpeg-normalize)
  • I am using the latest stable version of ffmpeg or a recent build from Git master

Expected behavior
Using

parallel ffmpeg-normalize {} -c:a libopus -b:a 48k -e '[ "-vbr", "on", "-application", "voip" ]' -o {.}.opus ::: *.mp3(N) *.ogg(N)

the -e '[ "-vbr", "on", "application", "voip" ]' is passed to ffmpeg

Actual behavior
ffmpeg-normalize thinks that -vbr is -v br

Command
The exact command you were trying to run:

parallel ffmpeg-normalize {} -c:a libopus -b:a 48k -e '[ "-vbr", "on", "-application", "voip" ]' -o {.}.opus ::: *.mp3(N) *.ogg(N)

Any output you get when running the command with the --debug flag:

Does it work when you don't use parallel?

slhck commented

The reason I'm asking is that parallel and quoting is a bit unintuitive at times. It appears like the single quote argument around the extra options gets split into invididual arguments. You may have more luck defining the ffmpeg normalize call as a shell function first, or putting it into a small script.

Without parallel it works fine.

Also, I forgot to put - before application.

Yeah, I completely forgot about this. Thanks a lot!

In this particular case, running parallel -q worked fine.
