Downloaded videos are suddenly all sort of broken

I haven't narrowed this down specifically to Sabnzbd yet, but I thought I'd post to see if it's a familiar problem.

After a long stretch of flawless performance, downloaded videos are almost all problematic now. They all stop at some point before the end, and I cannot resume playback. I have trouble fast forwarding, resume play, and I cannot skip or seek.

I'm thinking it may be related to Sabnzbd, the fact that I recently switched from Sickbeard to NZBdrone (now called Sonarr) or possibly the hard drive has become corrupted because it's often nearly full.

Anyone have some ideas of what it could be, or what I should do to troubleshoot?

If it was SABnzbd corrupting the download then the rars wouldn't be able to extract. Sounds like a media player/codec problem/hard drive issue.

Looks like recent weeks of maxing out both drives repeatedly led to problems, including errors on both the NTFS and ext4 drive. Using chkdsk on the former and GParted's fsck on the latter found and fixed errors, and this seems to have solved the issue. Thank you for helping me think my way through that.
