list-scenes option -q/--quiet does not suppress all output #356
Description
Problem/Use Case
The comma-separated timecodes list that is output distracts the user from important information when PySceneDetect is used inside some other tool. Setting -q does stop the table from showing up but not this list.
Solutions
Make -q skip the list display as well, or add a separate parameter for this option. The progress bar is a very useful feature so muting all output is not a good workaround.

What version of PySceneDetect are you using? In the latest version, you shouldn't see any output when using
-qat all. Do you see the same issue when you use-v none?I can also look into adding a config file option for always showing the progress bar. The progress bar always goes to stderr, so it might be okay to enable it regardless of the verbosity.

It's v0.6.2, installed via pip3.
Sorry, I think I should have been more clear: the issue is in the list-scenes parameter. Setting -q for pyscenedetect itself mutes everything (as does -v none).

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Originally this was to allow using
scenedetectoutput directly withmkvmergebut this ended up getting overlooked with the logging overhaul in v0.6. It shouldn't be a problem to hide it now, thanks for the report.[-]Ability to disable printout of comma-separated timecodes if csv is output[/-][+]`list-scenes` option `-q`/`--quiet` does not suppress all output[/+][cli] Only print cut list when `list-scenes` is specified
