More detailed "Refresh Metadata" status

[PegaMenis 9]

Hey,

I would like to request a better "Refresh Metadata" experience, especially when refreshing a whole library.

My experience after starting the refresh is the following: The progress jumps to 90% very quick and the last 10% are slow (which is where the actual work happens i guess).

Would be nice if you can rework the progress indicator to represent just the items that are refreshing (e.g. 1000 items -> 1 is fully done -> 0.1%) and also display the progress as a task in the dashboard (like the library scans).

A cool extra thing would be the possibility to cancel a refresh task and notifications for started, done, aborted.

Thanks for reading and please let me know if thats something you would like to change/implement.

HI, yes more progress reporting on this is planned for future updates. Thanks.

@LukeI'm having the same problem. I'm a user planning to switch from Plex to Emby and have already purchased a lifetime membership. I've been exploring the new features for the past few days, and my biggest issue is that I don't know if the commands I set are actually being executed. Regarding the "refresh metadata" display, on Plex, for example, there's a very obvious spinning circle indicating it's in progress. I often wait a long time, only to find it's not running at all when I check back later. Another problem is that when I refresh a TV series, shouldn't all the videos within it be refreshed at once? But the opposite is true; I wait a long time with no response until I refresh them one by one...

They are, but currently there isn't much of a response other than what you see in the log file. But yes improvements to this are planned. Thanks.
