  • czkawka

    Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.

  • czkawka claims to be able to compare video, https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka but honestly I wouldn't put much stock into that. Could be worth a shot.

  • ssdeep

    Fuzzy hashing API and fuzzy hashing tool

  • I've had luck before stripping the audio of each video file in my collection then comparing the audio because audio isn't as random as video encoding. I had a fuzzyhash of all the audio in WAV and then compared all the audio against that list again to see where there was overlap.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • videoduplicatefinder

    Video Duplicate Finder - Crossplatform

  • I use Video Duplicate Finder in a docker container on my media server. It shows you at a glance which version of a file has the longest duration, highest frame rate, bitrate, resolution, file size, etc.

  • cbird

    Command-line program for managing a media collection, with focus on Content-Based Image Retrieval (Computer Vision) methods for finding duplicates.

  • cbird has this. When you find a duplicate you can compare them side-by-side too.
