• ✓ Multi-Engine Credits Detection
• ✓ Intelligent Audio & Video Analysis
• ✓ Automatic Episode Learning
• ✓ Persistent Credits Protection
• ✓ Smart Backup & Restore
• ✓ Zero-Waste Re-Detection
• ✓ Hardware-Accelerated Processing
• ✓ Automatic Recovery After Library Scans
• ✓ Media-Embedded Credits Chapter Detection
• ✓ Manual, Bulk & Scheduled Detection Support

🛡️ Persistent Credits Protection

EmbyVision Credits now provides additional protection against credits markers being lost during Emby library operations.

Detected and modified credits information can be preserved independently of Emby's internal marker database, allowing EmbyVision Credits to recognize and recover previously detected credits when necessary.

The system prioritizes the most relevant available saved information and can automatically restore a missing credits marker instead of unnecessarily running detection again.

Smarter Re-Detection

EmbyVision Credits is designed to avoid wasting processing time on episodes that already have usable credits information.

Media files containing recognizable credits chapters can be processed without requiring a full detection pass. This helps prevent unnecessary OCR, video analysis, and audio processing.

Media-Aware Credits Detection

Credits information already associated with a video can now be recognized during:

• Automatic detection
• Scheduled detection
• Manual detection
• Bulk detection

This allows existing credits information to be reused whenever possible.

Improved Marker Recovery

The plugin monitors changes to media items and can re-apply previously detected credits information when Emby removes or loses a marker.

A verification pass also helps detect situations where a newly saved marker does not remain available, allowing EmbyVision Credits to recover it without repeatedly processing the entire episode.

Backup & Restore

Credits information can be preserved independently from Emby's live marker state, providing an additional recovery path when markers are unexpectedly removed.

The backup system also allows previously detected credits timestamps to remain available for restoration rather than requiring the episode to be completely re-analyzed.

Performance Improvements

1.0.0.2 focuses on reducing unnecessary work across large libraries by reusing existing credits information whenever possible.

Result: fewer unnecessary detection runs, less CPU/GPU usage, faster library maintenance, and more reliable credits markers.

EmbyVision Credits

An intelligent end-credits detection solution for Emby combining OCR, audio analysis, video analysis, automatic learning, hardware acceleration, persistence, and recovery into a single plugin.
