In the XML, look for requiredBandwidths. That will appear if Deep Analysis has been completed.
Otto explained it here:
At least for Direct Play, I think the number displayed in the Dashboard is based on the required bandwidth for the client’s advertised buffer size, NOT the bandwidth the client is actually using at that instant.
Check out the dashboard when Direct Playing a file that hasn’t had Deep Analysis performed. 10 Gbps! I think that’s just because the bandwidth analysis for the file hasn’t been performed.
If you watch the Bandwidth chart in the Dashboard, most clients will pull as hard as they can until their buffer is full, and then play until the buffer hits a low-water mark. Then they download until the buffer is full again.
On the local network, my TV will pull 250Mbps for a couple seconds, then sit idle for 10-30s. On a remote (slower) network it’s usually not as dramatic.
Water, man. Scenes with rain or frothing water. So many bits!
