-verbose is totally misdocumented in the docs, it's described as simply an alias to '-v', its actual behavior is accepting a number, from 0 to 9, matching the different mp_msg levels (MSGL). mplayer => mplayer -verbose 0 mplayer -v => mplayer -verbose 1 mplayer -v -v => mplayer -verbose 2 and so on... with msglevel patch i just sent to dev-eng, -verbose corresponds to '-msglevel all=', only +5 levels. - ods15

mplayer => mplayer -verbose 0 mplayer -v => mplayer -verbose 1 mplayer -v -v => mplayer -verbose 2
So something like -v Increment verbosity level, one level for each -v found on the command line. -verbose <0-9) Directly set verbosity level. See -msglevel for the meaning of each level. ?

Elaborate. Diego

no, -verbose 0-4. see below

-verbose 0 => -msglevel all=5 -verbose 1 => -msglevel all=6 -verbose 2 => -msglevel all=7 and so on. imo the option is obsolete and can/should be removed - ods15

Ugh. Yes, given that it was never really documented, I think it could be removed. Or at least made to start properly at 0, there is no reason for it to behave differently. Diego

While we still have it, here is another (poor) attempt to describe it properly: -v Increment verbosity level, one level for each \-v found on the command line. -verbose <0-4) Directly set verbosity level. See -msglevel for the meaning of each level, taking into account that -verbose 0 corresponds to level 5. Diego

I thought the various "See X" <page up page down until section is found, page up page down back to original spot> parts were a bit annoying in the man page, but this adds a whole new level to cross references :-)
