Stoic Video Doctor

By Neil Shah

Overview

A developer troubleshooting tool for technical video metadata on Mac. Analyze pasted ffprobe JSON or MediaInfo JSON/Text reports to identify codec, resolution, HDR transfer characteristics and subtitle track types. Explain likely decoding and subtitle compatibility issues with evidence, sources and next diagnostic steps. Includes Stoic 1.2 release notes; decoder diagnostics remain pinned to verified Stoic 1.1 engine rules. Metadata analysis cannot verify the active decoder, measure performance, inspect pixels or guarantee compatibility. The plugin does not open movies, access your Mac or control playback. No sign-in is required.

ChatGPT

Analyze a pasted ffprobe JSON or MediaInfo JSON/Text report to identify likely Mac playback, HDR and subtitle issues. Returns normalized tracks, evidence, concrete next steps and sources. Use when the user supplies technical metadata, including when they ask why a video uses high CPU, looks wrong in HDR or ignores a chosen subtitle font. Does not decode files, access a Mac, benchmark performance or determine hardware acceleration from metadata alone. Omit filenames and paths before calling.
