[FFmpeg-user] FieldOrder detection with an timestamp list (time position of field order changes)

Hello

ffmpeg has a very good field detection algorythm:

ffmpeg -i <INPUT_FILE> -vf idet -f rawvideo -y NUL

Output:
[Parsed_idet_0 @ 003ea220] Single frame detection: TFF:0 BFF:153 
Progressive:0 Undetermined:0
[Parsed_idet_0 @ 003ea220] Multi frame detection: TFF:0 BFF:153 
Progressive:0 Undetermined:0

Is it possible to extract an timestamp list where you can see on which 
timeposition in the file the field order is changing?

Like this:
00:00:00.000 - 00:00:23.040  TFF
00:00:23.080 - 00:01:00.000  BFF
00:01:00.040 - 00:02:00.000  Progressive

Sometimes material is made where field orders are switching, so it would 
be very helpful to find the exact time position where the field order 
changes.
