What’s the best way to monitor the progress of 'Generating Loudness Data" of a library? Is there a way to see what percent of the library has been scanned for loudness data? Or how many movies have been scanned? I know you can go into each movie individually and see if it’s been scanned, but that would be impractical to do individually for every movie in a large library.

For example, I have 3000 movies (I know some have many more than this) and it’s taking something like 30-60 minutes to scan each movie (roughly, as best I can figure). I upped my maintenance window to 24 hours/day to see if I could make some faster headway on this, but it appears it’s going to take a long time. I figure at this rate it will take 2-4 months of constant scanning. Seems like lots of work for minimal benefit. If there was an easy way to monitor the progress, maybe I’d feel better about my drives and CPU hammering away non stop while it scans. Thanks. I did search, but came up empty.
