[FFmpeg-user] "ffplay -report" creates text files with mixed line endings

[Jaime]

Hi.

I've just created an "ffplay report log" to attach to my previous email, thus:

AV_LOG_FORCE_NOCOLOR=1 ffplay -report -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://camera.lan

Mailman is showing the report file as being of type: "application/octet-stream":

A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
Name: ffplay-20211109-100211.log
Type: application/octet-stream
Size: 32011 bytes

I've just checked the line endings using "dos2unix -ih":

$ dos2unix -ih ffplay-20211109-100211.log
     DOS    UNIX     MAC  BOM       TXTBIN  FILE
      17     163     301  no_bom    text    ffplay-20211109-100211.log

Interesting. Is this "by design", or a bug (or neither)?

TIA, Jaime
