You can see my response in this thread about this change: PMS revert back to old rating from stars

Basically it doesn’t make sense to alter ratings from an external site like IMDB because then it would no longer reflect reality when that rating changes over time as you’ve now made it static.

To update external ratings you should just refresh the metadata for the item. If you want to give it a personal rating then that’s what the star rating system is for.

If you really still need to alter that field for some reason then you can do it via the api, example:

http://localhost:32400/library/sections/:sectionId/all?type=1&id=:itemId&rating.value=7.2&rating.locked=1&X-Plex-Token=:yourtoken

Replace :sectionId, :itemId and :yourToken with appropriate values. Passing rating.locked=1 will lock it so that subsequent refreshes won’t change it.

Ok. Example:

movie: Blindness - rating in IMDB 6.6 ; rating in PLEX: 6.3

I am only trying to correct it (almost every movie). Refresh the metadata doesnt work.

Can you please witness the field again?

Ok. The filled example shows only the xml (MediaContainer) of the movie. But doesnt change. What is the correct command?

If you add a movie that Plex doesn’t recognize, you should be able to easily add the rating to complete the metadata. For example, Plex doesn’t recognize the 1996 John Travolta movie, Michael. I had to fill in the metadata on my own but was also confused when I couldn’t find the rating option.
