The `requiredBandwidth` is calculated during Deep Analysis, which runs during the server maintenance window. In Settings -\> Server -\> Scheduled Tasks, check the box for `Perform extensive media analysis during maintenance`. I’m not sure how long all the scheduled tasks take. It will depend on the size of your libraries. Suggest you pick a wide window for the start/stop times, at least to begin with (I run Plex on a NAS, which is on 7x24. I’ve never tried to time how long maintenance tasks take). See [Plex Docs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/) -\> [Server Settings](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/plex-media-server/server-settings/) -\> [Scheduled Tasks](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201553286-scheduled-tasks/) for additional information. If the analysis does not run during your maintenance window, you can [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the movie. This removes all traces of the movie from your system, so Plex considers it a new movie when you add it back. It will then analyze the movie just like it would for any other new addition to your system. FYI, you will lose played/unplayed status, play counts, etc if you do this. You can also run the scanner via the command line. Use the `--analyze-deeply` action.
