No Media Info after Import, only shows up after starting playback (Movies only)

Hello, a lot of times when improting Movies with real time monitoring, the server will not populate any Info about the Media. The Metadata is unaffected.
Here is the Media after the import:

And here after I have started playback once:

How do i get it to populate after the import? This issue does not happen with Series/Episodes and some Movies are also fine. Maybe it's because of Dolby Vision?

Hi, it could be that it was still in progress. Beyond that nothing obvious. You could try removing all third party plugins and see if that helps.

Could it be because of that? It only happens with Movies like this which have "High Quality" stuff like HDR, DV and such.
