Love the script by the way (finally got it working with my overly convoluted setup).

Was wondering if these enhancements & additions would be possible or if they're out of the scope of this project/not possible:

Enhancement: Choose which libraries to run
Enhancement: Choose order of libraries
Add: Extend support to other scanner activities
- Intro/credits detection, voice activity
Add: Output log including:
- Thumbnails generated, thumbnails skipped due to existing, missing thumbnails, size of thumbnail folder

Also loving the script! I do love lots of output and progress bars so on my fork I added progress updates using rich to see how fast each thread is going and how many thumbnails were produced (based on the ffmpeg stdout output). Changes here: https://github.com/stevezau/plex_generate_vid_previews/commit/e13ac9a6024688f48302ddf88e130f5cdc0f1ec7

If there's interest I'm happy to open a PR to add this.

I tried having 16 progress bars (= number of GPU threads) but I couldn't get it to work, so I just ended up logging progress every 1%.

Oh wow that's really awesome that you did that. Can you share what the output looks like so we can get an idea? Thank you!
