Can a developer please answer: 1) Approximately, somewhere in the neighborhood of, Plus or Minus, how long should it take for the server to 'generate' index files for, say, 400 movies, is it hours, days, weeks? 2) Other than turning the function "on" is there a way to force it to happen? 3) How much space does the index take up, megabytes? or gigabytes?--is there a place to actually -see- the index files?

1) How are they to know? It is going to depend on how long each of those movies is, how fast your CPU is, and if you're manually analyzing, or if you have it set to only generate during server maintence. For a library of 97 items I started it yesterday at around 10am and ended sometime when I went to sleep/my server crashed (which was at around 2 am).
2)If you go into a library, click a gear, and select analyze it will start generating them for your items 1 by 1. Otherwise if it is just on it will happen when a new item is added to the database. Or during the maintence period if you have that selected.
3) For around 110 movies, and maybe < 1000 TV Episodes it's added 20 gig. The only way to 'see' the BIF files it search your plexdata/appdata folder for .bif's. Looking at the BIF's I have seen anywhere from 7MB to 30MB for one.
--edit
but for what it's worth on my server it is taking about 31-32 seconds for a 23 minute episode of a TV show and ended up being 9,799KB
I'd love to get a hold of one of your BIF files. Curious to see if it's SD or HD. Plus for kicks I'd like to try dropping it into my system replacing what I have already to see if your BIF works where mine didn't.
Of course some comparisons of attributes would get looked at. :)
Interesting to say the least.

Just wanted to update. I had to re-start my BIF processing because of me corrupting my database last night. I've started with some Anime and uploaded one of the BIF's to drop box:

I did test it on the Xbox One and still got the images from it. The details from this the video file:
There was a topic posted on this a while back as well. This was working great for me until one of the later updates.

Any chance you could do this for any semi-popular movie? Great chance I'd have it and could experiment easier.
If it's any help I have the previous movie you said worked which is The Lego Movie (2014).

I can try. I was having some trouble moving locating it, but if I tail the log while I move it to a new library I should be able to track it down.
Doesn't need to be that movie. If you can happen to get lucky and find a bif for anything remotely popular movie wise that should do.

Actually got it for the Lego Movie. My internet here is crap so it took a bit to uploading the bif to drop box:

THANKS very much for this. Much appreciated. This is exactly what I needed. I'm up and running analysis. Processor is pegged...
Has there been any progress on this issue? I would really like to see this fixed.
We've identified and fixed some issues here for the next release. Hopefully this will fix it for you soon.
Sweet! Does that mean we're getting an update soon! :)

A guys gotta try right, here's hoping though.

Thanks Dom. This bug and a few minor and infrequent crashes are the only issues I have. Of course, I'd like to see all the missing features added in too! :rolleyes:
