Which client are you looking for the extra in?
Mmmm, so I did run analyse on the show I added, (Almost Human). I always do when I add content but I have never noticed it doing the intro markers before.
So if I was to create a new library, add all my content to it and run analyse it would trigger the intro detection against the entire library even if I have it set as a scheduled task ? That seems wrong to me.
Manually triggering analyze will always trigger it unless the task is set to “Disabled”.
I’ve looked in the iOS client on iPhone and iPad and I’m not seeing them there (I’ve checked the web client too but I know that’s not fully supported yet).
Go to that episode and refresh its metadata then send me the logs (Settings → Troubleshooting → Download Logs).
I was about to do this but refreshing the metadata fixed the problem! I thought I had already done that, but it must have been before I set up the files properly! Thanks for your help though!
How is cache managed? I’ve updated a few shows on the TMDB that were missing some data, but even after a few hours the changes are not coming through when I refresh metadata.
24-48 hours it takes for them to flow from TMDB to the back-end plex cache. Its closer to 48 than 24 in my experience.

Wow! TV extras at episode level never thought I would see the day. While I am too paranoid to try a beta release on my server I am keen to read others experiences and glad to know this is coming sometime soon.
The release is going public very shortly, the agent itself will remain in a beta state however and it’s not yet going to be the default for new libraries.

I have collections for Star Wars & the MCU in both my movie library and my tv show library. But the metadata but the metadata isn’t synchronized between the libraries anymore (summaries, background and posters). Will this also get fixed?
(The info tab is also empty)
When you said soon I didn’t realise you meant today. Lol Going to have a play with this tonight.
So far it seems very random - trying to update TMDB myself and watching metadata come in …
Marvel Studios: Legends for example has metadata changes from 5 days ago that are still not applying in Plex (posters, cast info, episode cards).
Good Eats updates to Series posters came in within 12hrs but Season posters are 48hrs out and still not available. Also, episode cards updated even though no episode images are on TMDB (currently Episode 5 is showing me a title card I can’t select/unselect).
DuckTales 2017 has completely random results for what is or isn’t available after updates - I made a number of updates at the same time and some season posters updated but not all and episode cards are still empty. Text updates did come in right away though (as did the new season setup for specials).
It does seem TEXT updates are very quick and pretty reliable for 12-24hr results, it’s just the image updates seem hard to predict - but they always come in eventually. It does seem more popular shows get updates faster too but that could be anecdotal.
I was literally pushing the release buttons while typing that reply

Episodes with air date only (no episode number) in the file name are not matching after switching to the new agent.
Example filenames?
Example filenames?
stuff like: series.name.2021.03.08.episode.title.mkv
I have a few of these in my test cases that all work fine. Could you give me an exact file path for something that isn’t matching?

The Agent “Plex TV Series (BETA)” seems to be the new agent. So far so good.
But will the older Plex TV scanner be renamed to “legacy” in near future like the Plex Movie scanner for better distinction? Because for me it is a bit unclear wich one I have to chose: “Plex TV Series” or “Plex Series Scanner”?
