I have (several) plugins that set/change library fields.  The problem is, when I exit MC12, I get that box that advises me it's updating 'xx' fields.  I also get this when I change the Rating or some other fields manually.  The files in my library are stored across my network, so this may take longer for me, and might be instantaneous to most.  My question is, is there a way to force the updating of the library so that when I exit MC 12 I don't have to wait while 1,248 tag updates take place?

No

So then there's no point in updating all the tags in the library, if it's going to take 3 hours for all the changes to be saved to the library, and there's a chance i could lose my network connectivity in between.  Has anyone else observed this?  There has to be something we can do.

I'm confused by your question...you don't need to force MC to update tags.

The library updates instantly the moment a tag is changed, either
manually or by a plugin, and then starts trying to save the changes to the files.
Unless theres an issue saving the changes (Such as the files being read only).

The library updates instantly the moment a tag is changed

That May Or May Not Be A True Statement.

I Am Currently Unsure Of The Answer My Self Since I Have Not Played With It In Some Time.

The Way It Worked Once Was That MC Would Only Save The Tags After The Plug-in Was Exited, There Was A Option Matt Put In There A Few Years Ago That A Programmer Could Use To Force A Tag Save.

Not Sure What Plug-in He Is Talking About So I Have No Clue..

Here Is The Interface In The SDK

boolean SaveToTag()
Description: Forces Media Center to save the file information to the tag.
Return Value: 0 - failed, 1 - success.
