Would like to see the analyze deeply capability added to plexapi if possible.

What the difference between the analyze we got and the the deeply your mentioning?

Analyze deeply scans the entire file and maps the actual bitrate instead of using just the average that is calculated with the quick analyze. It is an expensive operation - it scans the entire file and can take some time. If deep analysis is not performed on a media file, then a 2x the average bitrate is used for streaming limit purposes.

Would like to see this myself but I don't think plex has an api that can be leveraged for this yet, seems to only be cli via plex scanner or via butler task only right now 😞
