Overview: Media analysis and previews
Media analysis and preview generation derive technical information or navigation aids from source content.
A probe describes the media streams; intro detection identifies a content relationship; seek previews provide pictures associated with playback positions. Each operation derives a different result and has its own workload. These pages connect that derived information to the source it was analyzed from.

Episode intro detection estimates a recurring introduction interval whose start and end markers must belong to each episode’s actual timeline.Seek-preview thumbnails
Seek-preview thumbnails are time-indexed small images that help a viewer locate scenes without decoding full video interactively for every seek position.
