Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your reply. I have got the required output by adding below function call in my code, if ((tag = av_dict_get(filt_frame->metadata, "lavfi.black_duration", tag, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX)))
     printf("%s=%s\n", tag->key);

and it prints below output,

[blackdetect @ 0x5566fef000c0] black_start:5.46379 black_end:7.29896 black_duration:1.83517 [blackdetect @ 0x5566fef000c0] black_start:82.8328 black_end:84.4594 black_duration:1.62662 [blackdetect @ 0x5566fef000c0] black_start:142.768 black_end:144.019 black_duration:1.25125

I'm using "lavfi.black_duration" because if I use "lavfi.black_start" it print black_start at 0 second (false detection).

I could not find "lavfi.black_duration" anywhere in the file libavfilter/vf_blackdetect.c (or the source code at all), so I doubt it's being set.

If the key doesn't exist in the AVDictionary, av_dict_get returns NULL (0). You want to check until it returns an actual AVDictionaryEntry, then check AVDictionaryEntry.value for the time string.


Now, I tried to run the same filter through command line using below command,
ffmpeg -i SonOfGod.mp4 -vf "blackdetect=d=1:pix_th=0.00" -an -f null -

and it prints below output,

[blackdetect @ 0x5601cbc54c60] black_start:5.46379 black_end:7.007 black_duration:1.54321 [blackdetect @ 0x5601cbc54c60] black_start:82.8745 black_end:84.1674 black_duration:1.29296

above command line tool produces perfect output and exactly matches with actual video content timing (black start & back end).

How does both the C API and FFmpeg cmd tool give different output? is there anything I'm missing in C API code https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.4/filtering__video_8c_source.html (removed display_frame function).

The black duration log you see is the result of the filter subtracting black_start from black_end in the check_black_end function.

You want to get lavfi.black_end and lavfi.black_start, parse the time strings and find the difference.
