How to Get Error Timestamps in FFmpeg?

[TheRitik 0]

"I'm using the following command to detect errors in a media file:
ffmpeg -v error -i 'filename' -codec copy -f null -

While it shows errors, it doesn't include the timestamps when they occur. Is there a way to modify this command or use a different approach to include timestamps for each error? Thanks in advance!"

No. You cannot change the messages you see. You can only increase the loglevel to debug or even trace. Then you may see timestamps but the output is huge and you need to deal with that amount of information in some way.
