Many people don’t enable video preview thumbnails right away because they don’t have the space, initially have a slow processor, or for other reasons. So when they do decide to enable them, they have built up a very large library and the process will take weeks or longer before “…and when new media is added” becomes a viable option for them.
During this time their CPU will be at 100% load generating these thumbnails, and they may need to stop that temporarily to do other things on that machine. The current workaround, short of stopping the server completely, is to manipulate the scheduled tasks start and end times:
This is far from ideal, especially when a Cancel Scan option appears after initiating Scan Library. That’s all we need, a Cancel Analyze option that appears after the user has initiated Analyze.
