Subtitles Question

[Animosity022 6]

Just a general flow/use type question as I'm trying to limit my Google Drive usage. 

 

I have subtitles setup to download for Movies/Episodes in English and have the first two boxes checked to only download for a perfect match and skip if audio track matches. I have an Open Subtitles account that I use. I have a semi good size library of ~1700 movies and ~18k episodes. 

 

My thought process was the first download subtitles would take some time to parse through the library and it ran for quite some time. 

 

After that initial run, I figured the subsequent runs would be faster as the major work was done. I'm still seeing the download runs take 5-6 hours after my initial long run and it generates quite a lot of traffic as it seems to pick a file, probe it and then try to grab something for it.

 

Oddly, I'm only seeing about 2645 srt files in the emby cache area which seems kind of small:

[root@[member="Plex"] emby]# find . -name *.srt | wc -l
2645

Is there something else I should be checking to validate things are working properly or is this just normal?

No the task will always try everything again. If you just want it to be incremental then the regular library scan will do that. You can just adjust the schedule of the task more to your liking.

Awesome. That completely answers my question on the behavior and makes sense. I'll just adjust the schedule to a much longer interval since it generates quite a bit of API hits.
