This is my first post on here. Been a long-time xbmc user, but looking to switch to Plex. So far the experience has been quite good.
I’ve really enjoyed some of the work the xbmc team did with utilizing tmdb’s movie collection field. Frodo really shines with how they show collection/imdb ratings/top 250 trophies in-line in movie lists. From what I’ve read, Plex’s tmdb agent should be capable of scraping collectoin data, but so far, I haven’t had any success in getting those fields to be auto-populated. Is this a feature that should be working, and it’s just not for me?
Background and my troubleshooting steps:
Hardware: Windows 7 w/ SP1 on a quad-core i7 with 6gb of ram, nvidia video card connected to an lcd via hdmi and 50mbit/25mbit internet connection through an airport extreme router
PMS: 0.9.9.3
Agents: All disabled in Freeagent except TheMovieDB’s agent
Steps: Added a section called Movies, whose scraper is Freeagent. I disabled every scaper within it except for TheMovieDB one, and moved it to the top of the list. Scanned for info of “Octopussy”, but alas, the Collection field remained empty on several attempts rather than auto-populating the field with the James Bond Collection from here: http://www.themoviedb.org/collection/645-james-bond-collection
While the agent would be able to scrape it, it doesnt. The code simply isnt there in the agent. It's only in the backline (as in the API), that the support for doing that is implemented. Afaik, no agent currently pulls collection info.
Can we expect a new version of the metadata to catch collection info ? 
I googled Plex Feature Suggestions, found the [Plex Wiki Entry](http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Feature_Request) on the subject, created a lighthouse account, and submitted this as a [feature request](https://plexapp.lighthouseapp.com/projects/14382-plex/tickets/1436-add-ability-for-tmdb-agent-to-scrape-collection-data).
seems to work today, got it in ‘Skyfall’ even the localized collection name
but other information are wrong or missing in french localized informations
