Decided to dip my toes in so I followed the guide to a website where I can download some content via google drive. Like an idiot, I didn't research the risks of direct downloads before and so I'm now a bit paranoid. I understand the chances are low and my media player needs to be exploited but is there a way to be certain? A post on reddit said to use mkvtoolnix to check all the elements but I honestly don't know what to look for. Any help?

The filetype: parameter can be used in most search engines, query can specify the file type you want to search for.
For example, if you would like to search for MKV files related to a particular topic, you could use the following query:

”topic name” filetype:MKV

This will return only results that are MKV and contain the keyword “topic name”.

You can also use other parameters like site:, inurl: or intitle: along with filetype to narrow down your search even further.
