Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/3649

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Changes
This addresses an issue where EPG updates for live tv sources takes an extremely long time due to image processing. This is likely due to the number of images involved (number of channels * programs each day * 7 days * 2 image formats). For the ~30 channels I have, EPG updates were taking 5 hours to complete. With this change it is back to less than 1 minute! 🎉

This does have the side effect of blur hashes being unavailable for live tv images, but it seems worth the trade off. Perhaps we could add a task to generate blur hashes for programs airing soon at some point.
