Update to how Plex scan works // mod: show running/remaining time for scan

I hate made-up progress bars, and I know that estimating remaining time is always hard.

It would be nice to have a sense of outstanding tasks, though. There are a variety of tasks that Plex performs. Some display the current active task, but with no sense of how many tasks there are outstanding. Some aren’t made visible in the Activity or Dashboard areas at all.

The way Sonic Analysis works is pretty nice. It shows the number of outstanding albums, and counts down as progress is made.

Something similar would be nice to have for Video Preview Thumbnail generation, for Intro Detection, for Deep Analysis, etc.
