Recover files from damaged BTRFS filesystems

Project mention: Rescuing a partition with parent transid verify failed error | /r/btrfs | 2023-05-14

So, the furthest i was able to get to with btrfscue is getting the metadata file. The tool doesn't see any files recoverable. I checked the content of this file using the "strings" command I and was able to see some familar filenames. However, i came across this github issue https://github.com/cblichmann/btrfscue/issues/12 and someone in here claims that metadata file is useful for "an external program".
