A secondary metadata agent would be best, work on all OS, could save locally files alongside the media for all agents, could be practical when putting data on another plex server, this agent would need need these export functions per library type:
- Movies: poster, fanart, themes
- Series: Poster, Season, fanart, themes, (episode) thumbs
- Music Legacy: artist, album
- nfo file (XBMC format) loading/saving
- Collection support, can get around updating possibly, but cannot read information at this time. information
Coincidentally have been working on:
- https://github.com/ZeroQI/YouTube-Agent.bundle/issues/12 youtube agent to fill collections
- https://github.com/ZeroQI/LRC.bundle/ LRC agent to save files alongside media (work in progress)
If somebody had info on retrieving collection information from the agent side i would start coding…
Might be easiest to adapt:
