If you want to activate Skip Credits for your collection, you will need the latest version of Plex Media Server and run “Analyze”your entire catalog. Plex will then analyze your movies and TV shows as you go. After processing a scene or movie, you can use this function. However, be careful, this analysis requires a lot of system resources, and this is “not cheap”. Therefore, Plex created a cloud repository to store user file results. This will restore your system in seconds if you need to do a clean install or restore an entire collection.
