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!

Thank you for the walkthrough! I was loosely familiar with how transcoding worked, but wasn't sure if this specific library (tdarr) was coded in a way it became a "default" tool to replace plexs transcoding. My background is in small embedded systems for the most part, and I've gotten burned by tools which by default set themselves up to be the, well, default. I'm just used to dealing with much smaller pipelines/stacks.

Based on another response it looks like the issue may actually be around some HDR formatting. I could see that as after I transferred the new machine was using a completely different hardware set, including GPU.

Thanks to you and everyone for walking be through a new tool! If it is an HDR format issue, I imagine I may be able to use Tdarr to address it.
