Hi All,

About a year ago I transferred all my files to a new drive. I used filzezilla which did mostly ok-ish, but I didn’t notice that some of the video files were corrupted. Random files will have a green tinge to them (like someone put a green filter over the lens).

It seems random, although if it’s a series it’s usually the whole series.

I’ve been replacing them as they come up, but I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to expedite the process.

Thanks for any help!

    I actually do have the torrent, files for a lot of them, but I’ve moved folders and I’m not really clear how that might affect things.

    By my guess it’s probably about 10% of the library that’s corrupted, so re-downloading them wouldn’t be the worst (I’ve already been doing it piece wise as they come up).

    While I’m not great with system level and IT stuff, I’m OK with coding. I’m debating writing a python script to get the average color of each video file, I’d bet there’s some libraries out there to help with that.
