Add links to external databases and pages on albums and artists' detail page


Image Found online

I was choosing between Plex, JellyFin, and Emby some time ago and have settled down on Plex. However, the feature in Emby that I miss in Plex the most is the buttons that link to artists, album, movie, TV, actor entries on other databases (e.g. MusicBrainz, Last.fm, Discogs, MovieDB, TVDB, Wikipedia, etc) that Plex uses to scrape data from. (Such as the links sections shown on the image above)

Then I can know what database to contribute to in case I see missing data or incorrect data. Additionally, if the entry is appearing in one database and not the other, I can also contribute to add a new entry.

Now I can only guess what databases Plex might be scraping from when I see missing data and contribute to those, which is a waste of time as Plex refreshes databases once every hours (according to my guess).

There’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing an option for Plex to show/add links to external platforms / repositories. If that’s what you’re aiming for, I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

As a side note:
The current-generation Plex agents are sourcing data from a range of repositories. So there’s not “the one place” to contribute information.
