Lots of very easy to spot intros are not detected (Cheers, Review, etc.)

[ElimGarak]

Detecting intros has never been very spot on, but I think it is quite strange that an intro as long and always the same as “Cheers” is not detected at all. On the other side, often “Skip credits” appears WAY before the credits themselves.

Another show for which intros are not detected, even though they are always the same and quite long indeed, is “Review”.

Thank you.

I cannot remember if you need to run the analysis on the individual level to get it to trigger the intro detection again, but I just checked the first episode of Cheers on my server, and the XML is showing the intro marker (7th line from the bottom):

I just spot checked an episode from seasons 2, 3 and 4 and they all had the intro marker.

Try going into the season view and then next to the number of episodes, click the button to select all the episodes for that season.

Next, at the top of the screen, click the 3 dots and then analyze and see if it detects the intro after doing that.

You can check the XML like I did by clicking the 3 vertical dots in the bottom right corner of the episode image from the season view, then click get info.

On the media info dialog, click on “View XML” in the bottom left corner.

Hello and first of all thank you for your help.

I just did what you said (even though I think this should have been done automatically upon adding the series or during maintenance). It took several hours just for the first season. Anyway, I still have just the credits marker:

Best wishes!
