Are movies still mapped to IMDb in the new agent somewhere?

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

I have a whole bunch of scripts that (currently) rely on being able to map my movies onto their associated IMDb entries. Previously this was easy, querying my library gave me guid entries like “com.plexapp.agents.imdb://” with the id I want.

With the new agent I now see guids like “plex://movie/”, with some hex id. I tried querying the metadata for a single movie and don’t see any imdb mapping in there either that I could use.

Does the new agent have any kind of mapping onto IMDb ids? Or is the new agent wholly unique and disassociated from any other online metadata sources like IMDb?

It’s not a big deal to rework things on my end to no longer use IMDb for anything. Just wondering if it’s still an option as it’s nice to have.

Edit: I should include my use case. This is so I can know the language of a movie, which doesn’t seem to be available in the new agent.

There’s a feature suggestion to add this data to the new agent:

Here’s link to a Plex employee’s comments in the thread:
