dano VS mpv

You should check out my program dano. It has a dupe detection function.

dano is a wrapper for ffmpeg that checksums the internal file streams of ffmpeg compatible media files, and stores them in a format which can be used to verify such checksums later. This is handy, because, should you choose to change metadata tags, or change file names, the media checksums should remain the same.

dano - a hashdeep/md5tree (but much more) for media files

My best advice (from a person who knows only enough to package his own projects) is it depends on the project. For my own Rust projects, I've found a Debian autopackager called cargo-deb for cargo. I convert those deb packages to rpm with alien. I upload both to the repo manually, and have a script which generates what I need and uploads to a PPA.

The meaty part of the holidays comes a little early this year for Ubuntu/Debian users, as I've prepared a special treat -- a PPA for httm (and dano)!

If you use something like ZFS, then you have a system thats watching your entire data path. If you're not paranoid, afraid of other ways your data can be corrupted, bit rot, etc. (again you do you), you might still want to look at a program I wrote awhile ago, dano, and have a system to periodically verify the data on disk.

One thing ZFS doesn't do (and thank goodness it doesn't?), it doesn't detect out-of-band changes to files. If a program has the permissions to modify a file, ZFS happily modifies that file. But, for some files (and for the truly paranoid), we may want to keep additional metadata about file integrity. For instance, FLAC files keep checksums of its music streams. A program I wrote, dano, provides a way to do the same for all FFMPEG compatible media streams.

Packages and source available for dano at the following link.

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9053

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
