Hello, I have a question about credit detection (probably some issue?). Its about few weeks now that my Plex server start detecting end credits but I noticed that for some reason Plex keep detecting one movie all over again. So when maintenance time starts then first thing what PLEX do is detectin…

So if I were to take a guess here. My server seems to be quitting the Analysis exactly a half hour every single time. It was able to produce about 230 thumbnails of my trial movie. The same command on the Windows machine produced 361 thumbnails. It seems Plex is basically giving up because it’s tak…

The fact that it keeps failing after about 30 minutes could indeed indicate that it is a timeout issue. Pointing @drzoidberg33 to this problem, perhaps he is able to help.

It does appear to be a timeout issue in my case. I am considering making a modification to the Plex Media Server which would force the Transcoder binary to run with more threads (2-3 threads), perhaps by passing in -threads 3 into the command line options, but I don’t know what sort of consequences …

Really need a solution to this sooner rather than later. So much electricity being wasted all over the world because of this repeated failed scanning.

I’m having the same issue with credit detection repeatedly working on the same movie(s). I’m running Plex Version 1.32.5.7349. I’ve turned off credit detection on all my movie libraries until this gets fixed.

I have also the problem that Plex tries to detect the same movies over and over again. Is there any improvement expected in the future?

Any progress? I’ve been having the same issue for a while now on a few movies with PMS running on Synology NAS in Container Manager Version 1.32.8.7639. The affected movies do seem to be MKV remuxes (MKVToolNixGUI) of full UHD BD discs. Plex Media Scanner Credits.2.log (1.1 KB) Plex Media Scanner…

Because of the constant failing and needless burning of power I’m forced to disable the scheduled credits detection. However this also disables the possibility to manually detect credits via “analyzing” a media item. Who had this brightest of ideas? So everytime I want to manually detect some cre…

This probably cause issue that Plex Transcoder process dont close properly after schedule time. I have all the time like 5 processes of Plex Transcoder active with about 100-300MB of RAM each. [image]

Are there any news here regarding a fix of this issue?

(CreditsDetection) Retry detection only a limited amount of times on failures (PM-1093)

Haven’t tested it yet.
