Thank you - that does seem like the problem. I re-ran deep analysis although unfortunately it is still reporting an outlier in for the video bitrate required bandwidth: requiredBandwidths=“476807,93529,86083,81650,79867,78729,78297,78297” So it sounds like this may be a bug in deep analysis? I’ll…

When you tried the manual Deep Analysis, did it finish immediately or take some time? If it finished immediately, you might have to add the -x or --force option for it to run. You might run into the same issue without the Deep Analysis as it always greatly overestimates the necessary bandwidth when…

The deep analysis took around 5 - 6 minutes. To test, I removed the s01e03 from the Library and then re-added it. Without the required bandwidth tag and before deep analysis is run, the video direct plays for the entire length of the file. If I run a deep analysis, I get the same required bandwidt…

@FordGuy61 Might be able to help as I’ve seen him on previous Deep Analysis threads. Not sure if more than the Deep Analysis logs are needed or not for debug. One last thought I have is to remux in MKVToolnix prior to adding and performing the analysis. That bandwidth value is out of spec for UHD H…

Well remuxing with ffmpeg or MKVToolnix unfortunately didn’t help, or even remuxing directly from the .ts file from the disc instead of the MKV file produced by MakeMKV. After combing through the ~ 180 4k titles on my Plex server it seems to mostly only affect the BBC documentaries and two other mo…
