If you are referring to:

-vf your_filter,metadata=mode=print

That does not work in ffprobe.

For instance, using the patch I submitted, I can get easy to parse output like:

$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -frames:v 1 -filter:v
signalstats,metadata=mode=print:format=csv -f null /dev/null
frame,pts,pts_time,key,value
0,0,0,lavfi.signalstats.YMIN,4
…

How would I get the same with ffprobe?
