jeffeuh Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi all, Recently, one of my HDD crashed and some data will not be able to be saved nor recovered. Many TV shows has been stocked into this drive and I have some TV Shows incomplete and episodes are missing (S04E05, S01E12, etc ...). Too many TV Shows have to be parsed, folder by folder, to determine which episode missing and I asking your help. I would like to know if anyone has a tool/script (or another way) to inventory a folder containing all TV Shows and determine if episodes are missing, and says which one. Thanks all for your help. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debebee Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Probably not... esp coming from a recovery of a damaged drive.. Too many files . too many different rips and formats, even naming methods... depends on how you organized your files in the first place... Maybe this might help http://lifehacker.com/5605509/top-10-tools-for-managing-your-media-downloads you should had backups of your files on an alternative drive in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debebee Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well as we say "Nasa huli ang pagsisisi" ( Regret it when it's just too late. ) If the files were important in the first place he should had a backup. Remember MURPHY's LAW ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeMasteR Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 If you have a lot of free disk space. Try to recover what's been lost including the folder structure onto a different drive (Recuva can do that). Then merge it with a copy of the folder structure of the data you still have. Then compare both (structure you have, the merged structure) with WinMerge to see the differences. There is not really a way to automatically determine what's missing without knowing what was there before, you will have to do it manually. A previous indexing of some sort would have helped a lot in this case, maybe a good idea for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
