Occasionally, when downloading a newly released movies/shows, fake content gets distributed in public trackers. So far, it's a still image for the entire duration of the video advertising the user to visit a URL and presumably download malware.

This PR attempts to scan the video (using opencv) and finds similarities across all frames and then calculates a standard deviation to determine how similar the content is. If too similar content is found then the torrent will be blacklisted and retried.

Sample fake/spam frame from a video:
