TheFreeMan 30 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Somehow, I ended up with my TV Library type set to "Mixed Content". I think this may be causing me issues with Emby For Kodi, so I removed the TV library and recreated it with content type = "TV Shows". It's now been running for more than 24 hours and it shows that it's 91% complete but when I scroll through the library itself, significantly less than 90% of the shows have thumbnails visible. When I created the library, I think the only changes from default I made was * "Automatically refresh metadata for episodes with place holder titles..." to "Every 2 days" * "Generate intro video markers" to "as a scheduled task and when media is added" * turn on "Require a hash match" for Automatic Subtitle Download (setting language to "English").

In the end it will be about all the enabled library options as per that log snippet you are generating Intro Markers extending the scan time until said additional options are completed. So from an initial import standpoint it could take days processing every episode. Then once fully complete should take seconds to minutes for a scan. 1

If I disable the intro markers scan, will that take effect immediately and allow it to complete more quickly, or would I have to drop/add it (again) for that to take effect. Don't think I've ever had the intro scan enabled before, but I've got a few videos that have it, and it's certainly a nice to have, but it's not a necessary to have.

You can stop the current task and disable the option then start the task again. Then once everything is imported set the option to run on its own task during low/no use times with a time limit until all caught up then change to when content is added.

I disabled the intro detection in the library and, according to the log, things seem to be running more quickly. This is still running though and is probably going to run for a while, I'd imagine.

Yes if you click on Episode intro you will see the default trigger that you can modify if you like. As for the library scan yes it could take awhile with just the normal probe of every episode if this is the first scan.
