Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to Plex but it serves all my media needs except that I am missing my 1000+ ratings from my IMDB account.
Is there any way to import those and have them displayed for each movie?
I hope one of you can point me in the right direction.
Sorry, this is not possible.

I assume your are talking about your personal IMDB ratings.
Well, I did this via the trakt plugin in the Unsupported Appstore:
(it only imported like 95% of my ratings though - my guess is, that trakt doesn't know all movies/series I voted for)
1. Export your ratings from IMDB
- go into your profile -> then into your ratings -> scroll to the bottom -> click "export this list" under the page selector
2. login/register at http://trakt.tv
3. import the csv file you got from imdb to trakt.tv with this tool: https://github.com/damienhaynes/TraktRater/releases
- this only works under Windows
- I found the programm through this discussion: http://support.trakt.tv/forums/188762-general/suggestions/3901313-import-from-imdb
maybe the other suggestions are useful for other platforms
4. Install the Unsupported Appstore
5. In the channel of the Unsupported Appstore in plex: Install the plugin/channel for trakt
6. After setting up trakt (took me some time...don't know why anymore though <_< ) you can sync the uploaded ratings from trakt with your plex library...that takes some time...et voilá - all done!
I hope it helps...I did this a time ago and just wrote that from the top of my head...if I forgot something, just ask :D

Thank you! You saved me SO MUCH time.
I wonder if there was a way to mark all of your rated imdb films as “watched” on plex? If you can import ratings, could you do this?

Nice that it could help somebody...you are welcome :D

Well, that should be done automatically, too. Everything marked as seen on your trakt.tv account (previously imported from IMDB if needed via the instructions posted above) will be synced with the plugin. This includes the watched state as well as the ratings.
This is awesome, thank you. I was able to import just watch status and not ratings...
Why would I want to import my IMDB ratings? I'm confused about the rating system in Plex anyhow: I'm using a plugin that has all the ratings come from IMDB, but if I started rating a movie in Plex (or importing all my ratings), wouldn't that affect what rating I see in Plex? I still want to have them show and sort by IMDB rating - I don't want MY imdb rating to change any of that. Is there a distinction in Plex between the rating it shows and the rating you give it? Thanks.

Yes, Plex distinguishes between the metadata (e.g. from IMDB) and the personal ratings (yellow stars). So if you edit or import personal ratings it won't touch the metadata rating.
But since personal ratings are still not implemented very well, you have a valid point here. There is no option to sort by personal ratings. At least in my library it shows a zero star rating for every unwatched movie on some clients since it seems to prefer the personal ratings here. So in it's current state it's just a nice to have but has no further purpose.
Btw., if you into ratings and if you are using the web client often, Transmogrify may be very helpful. Besides the addidtional artist infos it also displays the IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes ratings for every entry. I love it :D
