Currently it's only done when listing an item in the GUI and it's done in the background to speed up the scanning of items into the library and the retrieval of the items to show in the GUI. There's no way to force that extraction right now and there's no easy solution, or at least every solution seems to have a drawback
Thanks, to give you some context theuni was asking about it in relation to a pre-loading script I've written. It would be quite nice if, at some point in the future, it were possible to have JSON pull this stuff in dynamically, even if it meant a short delay. Not getting any results for stream details just because the media hasn't been pulled up in the GUI, or played back at least once, despite having been scraped in, is really quite unfortunate (choosing my words carefully there! )
Somewhat related is the missing cast artwork, which are also being pulled in dynamically by the GUI, but inaccessible via JSON - it's been heavily discussed on this trac ticket. Your input would be much appreciated!
