I have over 1000 movies. I just installed Plex. Is it possible to ask Plex to fetch the poster for each one, say from IMDB for example, all at once without having to manually edit one by one?
If so, would someone care to point the basic steps to achieve so?
As long as Plex can identify which movie is in a given video file, it will fetch posters and other metadata fully automatically. Even a whole library’s worth.
Plex recognizes media by their file names and the folder structure they’re in.
That’s why following the naming rules is paramount. https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/
Once you do that, the automatic metadata downloading is very much reliable.
