Rather than manually or periodically letting tasks run from Scheduled Tasks, is there a way to run tasks when I start playing a file? For instance, if I start playing an episode of a show I'd like to at least have jellyfin check for matching subtitles and scan it for intro-skipper audio fingerprints.

I figured this was the reason, but didn't want to assume. As user Ferk says below, you're actually better off to have the tasks run before playing, rather than on start of playback. Since there's no way for the system to know when that is, I don't know how you'd automate that.

Unless you have noticed performance impacts during your regular workflow, I tend to agree with what you wrote:

I'm sure it doesn't matter
