Right now, it seems that the only way is to “Refresh Metadata”, but that deletes all of the work you’ve done to rename titles, etc. Is there a way to just change the rating provider without Plex deleting your work?

Really?? There’s no way to do this?

Ok, so make sure the lock is ON. Thank you, @trumpy81 !

So, that worked for like 95% of my collection. However, a stubborn 5% won’t change over and I have no idea why. Any clues? Possible bug to report?

Yep, that’s the first thing that I did (manually). My Plex Movie Agent is set to get IMDB across the board and does so for like 98% of my library. It’s just a few stubborn items that it doesn’t.

https://pastebin.com/FXqDRk4h It looks like the IMDB Agent falls back to TMDB when it fails, but I can’t figure out why it failed. It definitely got the right match. I also tried clearing both agent’s cache to no avail.

So this is a problem with the Plex Agent, right? @Plex Devs, it sounds like we have a bug here. How do you plan to proceed?

I’m able to independently get the data from IMDB. Doesn’t that mean that the scraper isn’t working properly? If IMDB makes a change their site and breaks the scraper, it’s up to the scraper to solve that problem. I doubt Plex has an agreement with IMDB that IMDB will solve data access issues for …

What if there’s nothing to fix on IMDB’s side? For example, they make a permanent change to their site that breaks the scraper that Plex uses. Shouldn’t Plex fix it? IMDB isn’t going to undo changes to their site just for scrapers.
