Suggestions on repeatedly obtaining "episode introduction"

[AnSniper 19]

This function is very good, but combined with some situations I encountered in the process of using, can developers optimize it?

==========================================================================

Firstly: Can emby write the information of "episode intros" to the NFO file?

In this way, even if I modify the directory structure, or share this information on different servers. Instead of wasting a lot of time and traffic to retrieve when I create a new media library.

Because I accidentally modified the video directory structure, so emby must re obtain the "episode intros" information again, which will do a lot of repetitive work.

==========================================================================

Secondly: Also, if an episode in the series does not get the "episode intros" information, how should we operate to get it correctly?

==========================================================================

You can add the following fields in NFO. XXX records the time of "episode intros":

<intros>xxx</intros> (just an example)

In this way, even if the directory structure is modified, emby can judge the "episode intros" information of the current video through the NFO information, rather than blindly re obtaining it again, which is too stupid.

Or whether you can quickly add "episode intros" information in the metadata editing interface, so that you can quickly modify the information of a set, which is convenient and fast.

==========================================================================

The above is my suggestion for the "episode intros" function.

I hope developers can optimize the use experience on this issue.

Thanks again to the developers, thank you~

Because my video is always changing, usually just the change of directory structure, but it will also cause the re acquisition of data.

Since this function is owned by emby premiere, it may be debatable to write what I suggest into NFO, but I still hope that there is a way to avoid repeated acquisition, because it will take a lot of time. Just because of the change of directory structure.
