Credits detection same movie

So. More than a year now.
It would really be nice to have some sort of statement from the devs.

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

Haven’t tested it yet.

30 minute timeout makes a lot of sense as the culprit of this issue. It’s always 4k, high bit-rate, HDR and Dolby Vision movies that fail. My NAS (Synology DS918+) is probably a little too slow to finish the detection for these super large files.

EDIT: found another tidbit: detection fails on the movie Greyhound (2020), which isn’t a super large file like most of the other failures. The reason is the credit detection screenshot process started too late in the movie (the first screenshot already has credits appearing), so it goes through all the screenshots, gets to the end, can’t find the beginning of the credits and so starts the whole process over earlier in the movie before the credits start. Great
 but this takes too long and the process ends up timing out at 30 minutes.

This particular problem seems like an easy fix: if the process has to restart because it started too late in the movie (after the credits had already started), restart the timeout as well. Probably should just extend the timeout in general, as 30 minutes obviously isn’t enough for typical NAS machines.
