CCExtractor version (using the --version parameter preferably) : 0.87

In raising this issue, I confirm the following:

I have read and understood the contributors guide.
I have checked that the bug-fix I am reporting can be replicated, or that the feature I am suggesting isn't already present.
I have checked that the issue I'm posting isn't already reported.
I have checked that the issue I'm porting isn't already solved and no duplicates exist in closed issues and in opened issues
I have checked the pull requests tab for existing solutions/implementations to my issue/suggestion.
I have used the latest available version of CCExtractor to verify this issue exists.

My familiarity with the project is as follows:

I am an active contributor to CCExtractor.

Necessary information

Is this a regression (did it work before)? [X] NO
What platform did you use? [ ] Windows - [ ] Linux - [X] Mac
What were the used arguments? -out=report

Additional information

When running ccextractor against a video file, I get an output e.g. like this:

Notice: Teletext page with possible subtitles detected: 152
- No teletext page specified, first received suitable page is 152, not guaranteed
Notice: Teletext page with possible subtitles detected: 888
Notice: Teletext page with possible subtitles detected: 151
Notice: Teletext page with possible subtitles detected: 150
Notice: Teletext page with possible subtitles detected: 889

I would like to get this information without ccextractor automatically extracting the subtitles because I need to specify the actual page to extract from based on service name and desired language.
I thought the option -out=report would achieve this, but for the same video file I get the output

//////// Program #10302: ////////
DVB Subtitles: No
Teletext: Yes
Pages With Subtitles: 
ATSC Closed Caption: Yes
EIA-608: No
CEA-708: No

MPEG-4 Timed Text: No

Is this a bug/limitation in the report parameter or is there a different way to achieve this?
