SE56 - the right thing, try download Toy Story 4 or Shaft, see what happen when you do the right thing…
i have 50 movies withouth IMDB rating and 2000 with…
I know it would be a huge amount of work, but would it be possible to redirect the request to meta.plex.tv and serve back a page scraped and then kept locally? Once it was local then it could be edited or kept in sync with IMDB/RT directly, or via OMDB…
Out of curiosity I wrote a python script to see if you could manually set rating scores and images via the API but it didn’t work. Guess those values are not settable in the same way the exposed metadata is.
Any updates would be very welcome!
+1 for an update
Having to use Tiny Media Manager + XBMC isn’t sustainable
Also keen for an update…
@SE56 Your screenshot perfectly demonstrates the problem - not the solution.
Read the thread please, before jumping to conclusions about an issue reported by others.
Yes, it is certainly possible to get some-rating for most media items. Not for all.
The ones you do get, will be somewhere between slightly to wildly incorrect for anything which is ~2 years old or less. Just like your screenshot shows.
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) - IMDb - 7.8, not 9.8
The Irishman (2019) - IMDb - 8.2, not 8.7
Downton Abbey (2019) - IMDb - 7.6, not 7.7
In case your next argument would be “that will get updated soon” - then that would be absolutely awesome if that was the case! But highly unlikely, sadly.
I got stuff with even more “random” ratings than yours, which has not changed a digit for ~10 months. And yes, I do know how to refresh my metadata:
All works fine for me, MeEnergy and tvebax. I do hope that everyone knows early in piece the rating change.
LOL he said refresh

Anybody home at Plex? Anyone care to comment on this issue? Should only take a matter of minutes to at least dignify this with a response.
I think I have a solution for all of you. I fixed the missing IMDB ratings on my installation.
The issue is the url parameter ratings=1. No idea why.
Check this:
https://meta.plex.tv/m/7942736?lang=de&reviews=1&extras=1&ratings=1
This movie has no imdb rating.
I altered the url:
https://meta.plex.tv/m/7942736?lang=de&reviews=1&extras=1&ratings=0
And here you have a current rating.
So I had to hack my current Plex installation:
Resources/Plug-ins-xxx/PlexMovie.bundle/Contents/Code/init.py
Change the FREEBASE_URL in the beginning of the file from:
FREEBASE_URL = ‘https://meta.plex.tv/m/%s?lang=%s&ratings=1&reviews=1&extras=1’
to
FREEBASE_URL = ‘https://meta.plex.tv/m/%s?lang=%s&ratings=0&reviews=1&extras=1’
- Delete the cache of all plugins (see help).
- Refresh all metadata
OMFG… this works like a charm!

Is it just IMDB ratings, or will Rotten Tomato ratings work as well after this if you set it as default ratings scraper? I don’t see a reference to the RT ratings in the xmls…

No idea but If I compare the XML files I see not much of a difference.
What version were you able to get this fix working on? I cannot seem to find a Resources folder in my install (latest Windows beta) let alone a PlexMovie.bundle.
Check under C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\
Thanks @HugeBeard! I was looking in the custom application data location… This change does seem to pull down current IMDB ratings. Unfortunatly, I have mine set to pull RT ratings. So now I have a messy mix of both. Is there another spot that needs to be changed to force the RT ratings?
Any idea which Plex file to edit on Qnap NAS as I don’t seem to have that directory? Also will this fix survive an update or need to be redone after each update.
OMG I can’t believe this worked!
Many thanks for all the time/effort you put into this! 
Thanks for the feedback. For NAS I have no solution because you would need to modify the package. Also will this fix not survive an update. But still you can update your IMDB ratings and they remain in your metadata. Which is anyway helpful. Now be desperately need someone from PLEX who looks into this issue and fixes this long-standing bug for real.
can please someone tell where to find that “init.py” file on a synology NAS? I can find a plex application folder but there is no “Resources” folder or init-py file anywhere 
thanks!
Hi,
For me on my Synology NAS the file resides in volume1/@appstore/Plex\ Media\ Server/Resources/Plug-ins-349e9837e/PlexMovie.bundle/Contents/Code/
