Rather than manually or periodically letting tasks run from Scheduled Tasks, is there a way to run tasks when I start playing a file? For instance, if I start playing an episode of a show I’d like to at least have jellyfin check for matching subtitles and scan it for intro-skipper audio fingerprints.
Oh… ALL housekeeping? initially I thought you’d only want the video you are playing to be updated with missing extra content (subtitles and intro-skipper audio fingerprints).
Do note that if the library scan does not run, you won’t see any new videos that you might have added since the last scan, so you won’t even be able to see them in the Jellyfin UI to be able to play them. So at the very least, the library scan needs to run independently from the playback of any new video you’d wanna play that wasn’t detected in a previous scan.
It looks to me that it makes more sense to make it run automatically in a time range when you know you won’t be doing something important (I think you can tweak the schedule from the dashboard as admin). And perhaps combine that with manual library scans when needed.
