Server Version#: 1.20.3.3483 (Official Docker container)  
Player Version#: Plex for Windows 1.21.0.1410-50a34597

My Plex server gets stuck detecting intros for a specific show. When it gets to that show, it just loops detecting intro non-stop until i restart the server. I tried leaving it be for over a day and it never finished. Had to disable Detect Intros for that library.

This is what the console outputs when it is try to detect intros:

 ![Error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/4/6/4694627e887497d43d2433c37728ab34abefd8ea.jpeg)

The episodes play perfectly fine, and when I tried taking them out, it just picked another show to be stuck on. What can I do?

And It’s using 100% cpu of my virtual machine every second.

Can anyone help?

Same issue. Restarted plex, and then the NAS. And then it came back.

I keep getting this, too. Same message, and only on one particular season of a show. Any ideas?

Having the same issue on Server Windows v1.22.1.4275.

Can the moderators at least respond? What’s the point of paying for a Plex Pass if the support forum gets ignored?

Same issue. Do any mods/devs actually read these or they just laugh in the background while people pay them for a Plex Pass and just say “too bad, assholes.”
