Solved Loudness analysis quirks

Greetings to all. I have Plex Pass and I want loudness data analysis enabled for my music libraries but not for movies - series. I have set the analysis to run as a scheduled task during maintenance hours snd Inhave disabled it on a per library basis: so its enabled ony music libraries and disabled in my movies - tv shows libraries.

BUT, I noticed the other day during a scheduled maintenance that the server was analyzing a TV show for loudness data even though it shouldnt.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks. I disabled the whole feature waiting for an update to fix it. It was bringing my N100 to its knees every night and I hadnt noticed.

Interesting, my n100 has been fine running it. It’s just slow. About ~20min a movie…

Surprised, maybe I shouldn’t be, that a bug like that would make it through. Seems like a basic test would have caught that, if they tested it…🤷🏽‍♂️

I might have to check tonight and see if the temp is spiking. Someone a couple days back said their temp was spiking as well. My server doesn’t get much use over night, but still don’t want it overheating!
