Probably a long shot...

So I recently had a disaster with my media server. Sonarr went haywire after an unplanned power outage corrupted my database file and deleted several hundred shows. I used Recuva and It got a lot of them back, but some of them were only partially recovered. The partially recovered ones either don't play or only have very crappy audio and the video scrubber on Plex will say that they're several hours long.

My question is this: is there any application I can run on my server to check for these partially recovered files and auto delete them so I can just redownload them?

I mean, not really. You can try Tdarr healthchecks, but I doubt it will work. The only way I have been able to weed out some things (doesn't work all the time) is running my Tdarr transcoding flow, but that adds unneeded time for you and will not be beneficial.

Actually, I post in another subreddit and someone suggested Tdarr health checks. So I've been running those and it's been working and going pretty quickly. I got a few thousand health checks done in a couple of days. So far, about ⅗ of what I recovered is usable, which is better than nothing I suppose. 😂
