Why am I getting the error: “Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50” [closed]

Answer 1

Here is a python script to identify those fault jpg images in a directory.

import glob 
import os 
import re 
import logging 
import traceback

filelist=glob.glob("/path/to/*.jpg")
for file_obj in filelist:
  try:

        jpg_str=os.popen("file \""+str(file_obj)+"\"").read()
        if (re.search('PNG image data', jpg_str, re.IGNORECASE)) or (re.search('Png patch', jpg_str, re.IGNORECASE)):
            print("Deleting jpg as it contains png encoding - "+str(file_obj))
            os.system("rm \""+str(file_obj)+"\"")
  except Exception as e:
    logging.error(traceback.format_exc())
print("Cleaning jps done")
