Scanning process check that a clip has already been processed? #1030

Feature details

Is there anything in a video file that would let the scanning process detect that it's the result of having already been processed? This to prevent being transcoded again. Barring the filename having " (Encoded)" in it as that may have changed.

The "Writing application" metadata field is set to something like HandBrake 1.5.1 2022011000. But I don't think that's accessible on the built-in scan result API. So, it wouldn't be a straightforward feature.

I assume you want some option to automatically skip these when bulk-adding files or something?
