Is it normal for trickplay image generation to be extremely slow?

yesn't?

with the default settings, it can take a very, very long time depending on how much media you have.

if you want to make it faster, here are some options. #1 is very simple and will produce dramatically faster scans, #2 may require some setup, with less impact.
1. Enable "only generate images from keyframes" in the dashboard > playback > trickplay settings. The slightly reduced timing accuracy is not very noticeable, in my opinion.
2. Setup hardware acceleration, then check the box for "Enable hardware decoding" in server dashboard > playback > Trickplay.

I see. Thank you for the advise!
