[BUG] Update Season Title and Season Summary/Resume

Hello, I’m developing an agent for my Plex, I can update almost everything I want (theme, images, episode names, episode summaries etc.)

But it’s IMPOSSIBLE to update the season titles via the plugin, nor the summaries. However, I’m thinking of using the right method in my code, after having retrieved the information from a season (in json, response via API):

season_metadata = metadata.seasons[season_num]
season_metadata.index = int(season_num)
season_metadata.title = season_data.get(‘title’, ‘’)
season_metadata = metadata.seasons[season_num]
season_metadata.summary = season_data.get(‘plot’, ‘’)

I have no error when I pass this part, but nothing appears on my GUI.

I know it was a known bug at one time, it still hasn’t been solved?

If you are developing this in Python, you may want to reconsider as support for Python-based agents has been depreciated and will likely be removed altogether at some point.

I’m sure someone closer to Plex will be able to provide more insight.

To be more precise, the deprecation was made in 2018 and the official announcement of the removal of 3rd party Plugins was made on July 25. see the official announcement linked below.

This removal will impact all 3rd party Scanners and Metadata Agents that are based on the Python 2.7 dependency.

Unfortunately, That announcement doesn’t state any alternative only that they “are working on it”.

Unless you @Nackophilz, want to get a feel for how the data is being retrieved from your metadata source, developing a metadata Agent wouldn’t be something I would recommend as of now because at the end of August, the first servers (Nvidia Shield with the Beta Branch) will not be able to use it anymore.
