Ok, I tested the files on Windows. They don't work on there either. What would be the next logical step to take to fix this problem?

EDIT: Can confirm, I just opened filebot with -no-xattr via terminal, renamed a file, unmounted and remounted, and the file still works. It is a xattr problem.

Thanks so much! I'll try working on it when I get back to town. So correct me if I'm wrong but if the files work on my windows machine we can be about 90% sure that it is an xattr problem?

Please someone tell me how to fix this... Before someone tells me its a permission...

Macbook Pro (Yosemite) installed through caskbrew. So I went through most of the thousands of movies I had on my ntfs external hdd and renamed them with my preferred naming convention. After doing so, I can watch the movies until I unmount my hdd and remount it. From then on my files become corrupte...
