chris smashe Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Is there an app that can validate a show/movie after it is downloaded so that it will be known to play? I am getting color space is not supported from plex sometimes (along with other unable to play issues) and am looking for a solution to know that this is going to happen before it happens for a user. Its not a huge deal if it happens to me but is a problem when it happens for someone else. Quote Link to comment

But DV is what your issue actually is. (If you play the video on your PC say with MPC-HC you'll see that the videos all have a purple tint to them if your monitor doesn't support DV (which it most likely doesn't)) Plex seems to not particularly care anymore about managing to properly render DV videos on non DV equipment, and there's a long list of complaints on their forum regarding this, especially because about a year ago it did work. Usually (I suppose), DV would be identified in the filename of whatever media you're pirating so it may be possible to tell Radarr to skip those releases and try another one, but the real issue here is Plex and you'd be best talking on the forum and join the chorus there regarding this.

Ya my tv and player supports DV (lg oled/apple tv 4k) but plex is having an issue with it (some licensing thing i guess). This is one issue that i guess my tester that i was looking for would not fix since the file is valid but plex is not playing it. If there is a tester to validate videos it would still be nice to have. It might not fix this issue but it would be good to test all downloaded videos to make sure that they are not corrupted. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment
