I noticed a few weeks ago that despite always having had Generate Voice Activity enabled, not a single file in any of my libraries had Has Voice Activity true when viewing the file info. I manually ran a few and they all got the Has Voice Activity true designation with no problem. I then double ch…

Looking at bug report the dev made some fixes already based on the new logs you sent a couple days ago and just waiting on QA to have a look.

Looking at the logs there’s a Plex Media Scanner Voice Activity.log for every day for the last 10 days. The logs are short, and I don’t see any obvious errors, but they all look like this FWIW: May 12, 2025 04:58:02.001 [9968] INFO - Plex Media Scanner v1.41.6.9685-d301f511a - ASRock Z790 Pro RS x…

Possible to get your full set of server logs so I can add to report server devs can look at.

I’ve got the same problem. Thumbnails and voice activity detection don’t work as scheduled tasks.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting that change log, but it says “Scheduled tasks could try to run items which have already been processed”, but these files haven’t had any voice activity generated at all. To test I’ve just been looking at new files, and none of them have voice activity unless I run them man…

Have you checked your logs to see if all the schedule tasks ran successfully. If something failed, it may have canceled the other tasks.

I don’t see anything obvious, but if you tell me where to look and what to look for I would be happy to check.

I need to recheck the exact words but I believe you can search for the word butler. There should be a start/starting and ended/finished lines. Check your scheduled tasks time and see if the start time matches. Then check the finished time, if that matches, it may not have finished in time. If this i…

There actually is one weird thing that seems related. The only file it shows it scanning is a very old single episode of a TV show that’s been on my server for a long time, probably nearly as long as I’ve had Plex. So that makes me think maybe it’s just getting caught on that one file and then it …
