You can initiate a deep scan via command line like this, however do bear in mind this is for Windows… Mac’s and Linux might be different…
Deep Analysis:
"C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Scanner.exe" --analyze-deeply --item RatingKeys --log-file-suffix " Manual Deep Analysis"
Credit Detection:
"C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Scanner.exe" --analyze --server-action credits --item RatingKeys --log-file-suffix " Manual Credits Analysis"
Chapter Generation:
"C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Scanner.exe" --generate --chapter-thumbs-only --item RatingKeys --log-file-suffix " Manual Chapter Thumbnails" --force
You can find the RatingKeys in the xml for an item…
And you can do multiple items at once by separating with a comma…
"C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Scanner.exe" --analyze-deeply --item 60894,60895,60896 --log-file-suffix " Manual Deep Analysis"
