Title: Scheduling Analyze Audio (for Video).
Post by: cowboydude99 on April 29, 2022, 01:28:29 pm
Hi,
I'm running MC26 and wondering if there is a mechanism in place to schedule the analyze audio for video feature to run?

My videos are stored on a NAS and are quite large (20gb - 90gb).
When auto-importing the videos, Media Center will analyze the audio in the video files, resulting in another transfer of data.
--When the analyze audio is running, I can see 110+ MB/s being transferred from my NAS to my Media Center PC.

I'd like to turn off the analyze feature on import, but schedule a run for when the system is not typically in use, and only for files that haven't been analyzed yet.

I figured out a way to do this.  Posting how I did it for MC26.

FYI- here's the commands you can use:
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands

I created a batch script to switch to the Video \ Movies view.
Select all files and start the analyze audio command.

"C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 26\mc26.exe" /showtreepath "Video\Movies" :: Moves JRiver to the Videos \ Movies view.
"C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 26\mc26.exe" /mcc 21002 :: Selects all files in the view.
"C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 26\mc26.exe" /mcc 23005,2 :: Starts the Analyze Audio task.

You can then use the MC scheduler or Task Scheduler to schedule this task.
