Same error keeps happening on my Synology as well
Now using the latest **1.31.1.6716** , but it was the same in the previous 1.31.0.6654 and in the alpha version.
Tried on several shows and movies, always the same error. Intro detection works fine

That error message is unfortunately not very useful at the moment as it will get logged even if nothing went wrong. It will get fixed in a future PMS version.
If you have a specific problem then you’ll have to be more specific on what is actually happening.

Turn DEBUG logging back on.
Restart PMS
Recreate it
Capture fresh logs ZIP file
Attach the ZIP file here so DrZoidberg can see them
when you turned DEBUG off, you hampered any chance of tracking down where it’s coming from

Well yes, it doesn’t generate a credits marker.
I enabled Debug and tried on a movie and an episode.

In my case even using the latest beta 1.31.1.6716, no credit are detected with the same error . This is going on from the original alpha release, i.e. it never worked properly.
As I already pointed out, Credits detection works fine.

Same error and no credits does not work as a whole.
Also not exactly sure how to see if any credits got detected, but the recently added stuff has no markers

I’m also getting the problem and I think it might be blocking intro detection. I can see a credits `Marker` being added, but the intro one is missing.
Using Winx64 `1.31.0.6654` but it also happens on ` 1.31.1.6716` as well

Edit: I should also mention that I have it set to `local detection only` if that makes a difference. I know that it forces it to be recalculated when `Analyze` is triggered on the video, but not sure if it has other effects.

Also having this issue, except it’s affecting all of my media. I have yet to have a successful credits detection. Here are the credit scanner logs with verbose and debug enabled, doesn’t appear different to others. In case it helps, all my media is H265 in MKV, this is also on the latest plex pass beta

Updated to the latest **1.31.1.6733** and no change: still credits recognition **doesn’t work** on any h265 file. Latest logs are enclosed.
In conclusion, at least in my case, Credit recognition only works for the h264 files; it doesn’t work for any HEVC (H265) files: not one of them have the Credits marker tag.

I’m seeing the same issues. I only have h264, and it seems to happen with my longer movies primarily (none of my Lord of the Rings extended have completed, but almost everything else has). My logs look very similar to slashking826, where it gets to the 75% complete and then fails with `error: -2`. If it would be helpful, I can pull some logs. I’m on a Raspberry Pi 4, so I was hopeful that the timeout fix would resolve this for me, but it hasn’t.
