Thanks. The Support Article wasn’t clear to me on that. I could not figure out why a Manual Analyze did not work for me (I was analyzing with TV->Manage Library->Analyze)
Manual Working now…
I’m not seeing this on either iPadOS or Roku
Running Credit Detection manually, and working fine, but the logs show what looks like every detection scan ending with this error:
Feb 19, 2023 19:05:53.777 [0x7f858c70d0] ERROR - [Req#144f9/CreditsDetectionManager] BufferingLineReader: failed to read line (error: -1)
Seems it’s an error that happens whether it worked or not:

yes, to clarify I experienced it on Apple TV
I wish they would stop enabling these resource hungry features by default…

Would love to hear others experience with the feature vis-a-vis CPU types, library sizes etc the way we shared feedback on sonic analysis. Am on the shield tv pro, seems to take ages. Guessing it’ll take months to get through all my media if this is the expected progress.
It’s progressing rather quickly for a Raspberry Pi4 (CPU is at 100).
In the process of Manually processing ~2,500 episodes and after 24 hrs about 80% completed.
How does Credit Marker Processing compare to Sonic Analysis?
Is Sonic Analysis much more processing intensive?
That’s pretty decent… Yes sonic analysis is pretty intense. Processing can last for days even months depending on specs and library size. Hopefully some of the optimization of Sonic analysis will find its way to credit detection. I did sonic analysis on a Intel Computestick and it survived.
I hope that someday Sonic Analysis comes to ARM.
BTW, I see that Credit Markers is ‘Contributing Marker Data to “the Cloud”‘.
Would this be something that Sonic Analysis could do?
On my beefy Intel server (docker), I found TV Show episodes to take about 9 seconds for 25-minute long anime. About 40 seconds for a 120 minutes long movie.
It seems most of my movie libraries have already been analyzed. It’s hard to tell how far along Plex has gotten to during the 5 hours each night I allow for “maintenance”. I doubt my TV Show library, which has MUCH more content than my movies, is close to being done.
A new “Plex Media Scanner Credits.log” is created with each new Movie or TV Show scanned. Might be more informative to have this log file appended instead of overwritten with each new scan.
It certainly is happening on Amazon Fire, and is driving my wife nuts. I really hope a way to disable it appears.

Completed this morning, my est was off, took 42 hrs, still, not bad for a Pi4
I had the “Cloud” option ON, but it looked like all detection was done locally (I could be wrong, there was no info in the logs that I could see that indicated the source).
Ok. Here is my final feedback. Personally, disabling credit detection for now due to,
- Cloud results not corresponding with my media,
- Heavy CPU usage issues on local detection, plus
- Fragmented UI issues on handling credits from player to player. Users in our home agree.
Until these issues are addressed, there’s more of costs with little benefit to our home, the back button will have to do for now. Think it would have been better to beta test the feature than jumping straight from alpha to public.
They did though. There was a (semi-obscure) forum post where they offered a stand-alone download of the server version that enabled this feature. It didn’t have a docker build, so I couldn’t test it. But from the few dozen people in the post that used it, it mostly got positive vibes from what I saw.
FWIW, I’m liking it, but I don’t “trust” the logic. Unless I KNOW there is no post-credit scene, I won’t use the skip credits button when it appears. This isn’t much help on my shield, where it minimizes the video AUTOMATICALLY, but it’s not too hard to click back. If I could just disable the screen shrink on TV apps, I’d be 100% in on credit skip feature.
Absolutely agree. It should never shrink the video, simply offer the small button in the corner, similar to the intro button. In addition, when I try to click on the “shrunken” video to actually view the credits, it won’t allow me to do it. Maximizes for a split second and then back to tiny. Can this be passed on as official feedback somehow?

This would be very bad. It’s supposed to be hash based though. How are you confirming this?
Here…
This was an alpha release which then skipped beta straight to public, so the testing pool was fairly small. Those of us averse to pre-release testing didn’t get the opportunity to test and provide feedback before public.
