Beta: tvOS & iOS Intro and Credits detection

[jasonmcroy]

Can't get the intro/credits detector to see anything on TV show Tulsa King. Logs just say nothing to detect. There is an intro in the show though.

Haven't been able to get detection to work on my server, running Raspbian. Logs show same error each time: "[ERR] Could not write MFCC for file-____: ffmpeg failed: exit status 1"

v2025.10.16.0225

• IMPROVED: Detect Intro & Credits is now an option for a show
• IMPROVED: Efficiency of processing video indexing and fingerprinting

We've now improved some of the process:

Deep Video Processing

The setting has moved to Settings -> General -> Library Database. It is now enabled by default, but if you previously had disabled "Pre-Optimize Personal Media" you will need to enable "Deep Video Processing" to get support for Intro & Credit detection.

Opt a show In

Now, to opt a show in, select "Show Options"

Note: If you previously opted a show in to segment detection, you'll need to turn it back on for that show after this change.

and then enable "Detect Intros & Credits":

I am not getting any detected credits for Marvel Zombies. There is a pretty long credit sequence at the end.

Two other shows I just added to Channels scanned and worked fine for intro and credits.

I downloaded the debug log but I can't figure out how to upload or attach it to this post.

Oops. Sorry I missed that.

I notice that on Apple TV (haven't tested on the other devices) that if the skip intro or credit detect button goes away before I can hit it i can't get it back. On Plex and Emby if you bring up the timeline again the skip button comes back.

I have a couple of times accidently hit the back button when trying to skip the credits and go to the next episode. Then there is no way to get the button to come back.

[maddox]

yes, this is by design. It won't just keep showing the skip button every time you're inside an Intro. This would be obnoxious.

We have future plans on improving the timeline to allow for actionable items like you described, but right now there's no opportunity to add things like that.

[jasonmcroy]

Ok cool. Yeah, would be nice to get it back. Sometimes my finger hits the wrong button and I accidentally get rid of it. lol

Guess I need to get better at that.

Ok, we're all wrapped up. Channels 7.0 is shipped out. Even though this feature only shipped in preview mode, we're going to close this original thread down.

Thanks for the feedback on this feature. Please open any new issues on this topic in a normal thread.
