It happens with episodes and movies. I did the following procedure with a movie for example and got a very weird result

1. Looked in xml file for the credit tag on the movie “Emily”. There was none
2. Did the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) on the named movie
3. Did a manual Analyze on the movie, which was very quick and usually takes a couple of minutes to scan for credits on my server (although “local detection only” is active)
4. Looked for a credit tag in the xml file and found a credit tag
5. Started the movie and skipped to credits, but there was no option to skip the credits

Update: It exclusively happens with items that have multiple files with different runtime, because one version has a different framerate or other intros, although some of them still have credit tags.
