Skip Intro markers not being generated despite scheduled task completing

Great - thanks for the feedback

OK figured it out - moved the files out of the directory & did a scan. I was thinking there was something within Emby to remove them from the library - found delete and it was going to delete the files from disk. Realized my mistakes...

- Call The Midwife Season 15 removed from the library (with no intro skips) and scanned library

- Confirmed episodes missing from library

- Imported the files again, ran a full library file scan

- No indication that the Detect Episode Intros task was going to run - it is set to run on a schedule and on new episode detection.

- Confirmed that the episodes are back in the library (including watched flags - that's a nice bonus)

- Manually ran Detect Episode Intros task - it completed in 0 seconds.

Do you have it set to run intro detection when media is imported into that library? CreateTitleFingerprint can be seen running against those episodes, which extracts the audio for finger printing. Example:

It's in my "TV" library and

And... shoulda tested. I just fired up the first unwatched episode and I do get a "Skip Intro" button. I confirmed before trying the above that it did not.

Now the question is, why didn't it generate it when it first imported on the 1st or 2nd of March...
