Metadata Refresh - Does it ffprobe everything?

[Animosity022 6]

I noticed that I have some missing metadata and I was going through a forced refresh.

 

If I pick the only search for missing, does it ffprobe every file anyway?

 

 

That's the option I was picking from the particular library and I'm trying to avoid running an ffprobe for everything as I have a 20TB library in the cloud so it takes quite a number of hours to probe.

It will do it with either one.

So in that case, it's probably just best to select the single items if I have an issue rather than just doing a library.

 

With a large number of items in the cloud, it takes anywhere from 5-30 for a probe to work so it takes about a day to probe a library if it isn't local.

 

I was using the report to find items that had no runtime and than just refreshing them as I had some issues initially as I was going to store my metdata in each folder, but if that folder is cloud, the times can be bad so I had to switch things back to local storage which caused some of of sync data.

 

Thanks!
