I recently paid for Plex Pass and I’m analyzing all my TV Shows to get the skip intro. I’m having to go into each season of each show to get it to start analyzing. It won’t do it for all TV Shows or just analyze a single show and the multiple seasons inside the show. Just me or is it supposed to be like this? ---

This does happen for me too. For more context. When you select a whole TV Show to be analysed, the analysis does not take place as supported by the logs. Instead, you have to go into each individual series, select each episode then you can analyse them and credit detection etc will start. ---

The manual analysis is for shows you’d like to watch immediately. All others are supposed to get analysed automatically by “the butler” during server maintenance. i.e. there is no need to trigger the analysis manually on every season.

I understand that. But when I try to do an analysis of an entire show, it does nothing. Are you saying that’s intentional? I wanted all my shows updated with ‘Skip Intro’ since I have people who watch all different shows. I have since had to trigger it manually on every show’s season… Would’ve been so much easier to trigger it for my entire TV collection. ---
