The Broken Video File Detector is a Python program that helps you identify and manage broken video files within a directory. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface for selecting a directory, scanning for broken video files, and performing various actions on them, such as deletion.
Be cautious when deleting files, as they cannot be recovered once deleted. Some video files may take longer to scan, depending on their size.
Scan: Start the scanning process to identify broken video files in the selected directory.
Recursive Search: Toggle between recursive (subdirectories included) and non-recursive search modes.
Cache Search: Toggle between using a cache file for faster subsequent scans.
Delete Selected: Delete the selected broken video file.
Delete All: Delete all broken video files listed.
Status Updates: Real-time status updates on the scanning and deletion processes.
Python 3.x
Tkinter (included with most Python installations)
moviepy library (pip install moviepy)
joblib library (pip install joblib)
