[Feature Request] Finding Video/Movie dupes

[QbiX90]

Hi.

Are there plans to implement a Feature to find duped movies/Clips? That would be awesome!

Thank you 💯

You can select that with "Scan Type".

I was considering working on this feature for a while. Could use ffmpeg's ability to generate thumbnails and compare against them.

That will require some work, but might be doable anyway. It's still on my TODO list.

It would be great to have support for identifying scaled down versions of videos. This would really help clean up my backups, which currently includes the originals as well as scaled down videos from Whatsapp, Viber, etc

Since dupeGuru supports a Scan Type of EXIF Timestamp for pictures, is there an equivalent of EXIF for videos that could work?
