Manually trigger "Deep Analysis" & MDE Bandwidth Inaccurate

Does Plex’s XML info agree with MediaInfo on the total bandwidth required by all tracks? Can you post the XML info here?

You can. There’s a pretty good description of it here:

It’s Windows-centric, but the principal applies to Linux as well. The caveat is that under Linux, you must run the command with an environment variable specifying your Plex Media Server data directory. On my own system, I use this (for example):

PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/ /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --analyze-deeply --item 279 --force
