How long should I expect the TV “Intro detection scan” to take…days? It’s chunking away on 173 seasons worth of shows, and having checked other threads “video stream transcoding” is not disabled. Anything else to check and speed up this process.

Also, is there a way to manually start or stop the detection? (CPU is crying)
