It’s extremely time-, storage-, and compute-expensive to generate images for an entire library before-hand. In my case it’s doing all this work for tons of content that I might not even watch again.
I guess the idea is that there’s no delay in the images being available as soon as the programme is started?
I’m not sure the trade-off is worth it.

Just commenting as a public service since I had to search around a bit before I found an actual description.
