Skip Intro markers not being generated despite scheduled task completing

[sa2000 689]

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...

ok. lets compare logs for when it did not and when it did. please give me names and timestamps and the logs

[sa2000 689]

I did update the documentation here recently to specify that detection is only run when there are at least 2 episodes in a season

My earlier response was premature. The log you provided does show that intro markers were detected for Call the Midwife season 15 with 8 episodes having intro markers. 

The media was added at 17:30. By 17:32:28 we identified the markers

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

They were already produced before you ran this at 17:36

ok. lets compare logs for when it did not and when it did. please give me names and timestamps and the logs

Call the Midwife ended season 15 with episode 8, aired on 8 Mar 2026. It was downloaded on the 8th, as well. The most recent episode we've watched was episode 6, aired 15 Feb, downloaded on 15 Feb. 
My log history only goes back to March 13th, so I don't have logs from previous new episode detections of the show to provide. 

Next time I note a new episode that doesn't have a Skip Intro, I'll make note of it, grab the log for when it downloaded and ping you here. I appreciate your willingness to dig into this!

I did update the documentation here recently to specify that detection is only run when there are at least 2 episodes in a season 

Yes, I did read this - one of the early bits that I'd seen when I started looking into the issue, even before finding this thread!

And... shoulda tested. I just fired up the first unwatched episode and I do get a "Skip Intro" button

 

I do appreciate your time & effort looking through the logs!
