New Version p1.5.5: Recursive updating and new flag!

I am pleased to announce the release of project p1.5.4, which now includes the new catalog flag '--update-only' and recursive catalog updating. This improves the Patreon version with the same quality of life changes as the non-Patreon one.

For the '--update-only' flag, now you can re-scan your entire video library and only catalog information that is missing or changed. In addition, catalog updating now works recursively for videos that have already been scraped. This means that by simply specifying a parent directory, you can update your entire library regardless of where your videos are stored or how they are organized. This is possible since pre-scraped movie folders contain a content ID which the project will detect and use to determin if a folder has already been processed.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or just want to chat, please do reach out to me! While I read and reply to all messages on Patreon, please contact me on Discord for fully unfiltered discussions!

Hi there! So the `--update-only` flag simply means it will only refresh items if it doesn't already exist. So for example, if you already have portraits, sample images, or trailers present, it won't bother trying to re-download/refresh them. The project still needs to check online to verify video information, but it only does a basic inventory check. So this saves you a ton of time if you have a large library. On the reverse side, if you have videos or images that were somehow damaged or corrupted, running a re-catalog without this option will force update all material, even if it finds something that already exists. This is great if your unsure about the integrity of your data and you just want to make absolutely sure you get everything! I hope that makes things a bit more clear! (^_^); Feel free to hit me up on Discord if you wanna chat as well, or have any further questions. Always happy talk with people!

I'm a little confused on the /update-only flag. What's the difference? I can see that the flag is properly detected with the "only missing information will be updated" message, but it seems to still be searching for info for every video.
