I am also interested in this. I posted some time ago about it:
For backup purposes I want to move my TV Shows from the folder where they are now TV Shows (a root directory) to another directory in the same HDD disk1\TV Shows. Actually just a rename operation with WinSCP. Much faster than copying the files.
The problem is that the intro detection kicks again. I have many shows with many seasons and episodes and would like to avoid the intro detection again. The XML has already the intro markers and the files are the same, something Plex already finds out when scanning the library: Part rename detected.
Any way to avoid the intro detection on files that already have the intro markers?
Curiously enough, I have replaced some of my h264 TV episodes with newer h265 versions , where with the same quality, the files are smaller and then, rescanning the library, refreshing metadata and/or analyzing the TV Show, the intro detection is skipped.
Thanks!
