Not sure if this is of interest for anybody else, but I’m trying to make Plex read and respect metadata stored inside .mkv-files.
For now, the movie scanner will read an ‘imdb’-tag from the .mkv, and use that just as if an .nfo-file had been present.
The Freebase agent will use the Freebase cache to lookup the IMDB tt-id, and only if that fails will it do the normal plexhash/titlehash/Google-searches.
I have a lot of other stuff I’d like to do - is there any official “todo”-list, so I won’t be duplicating others work, or creating something with no interest in? Is there a way to contribute to the developer docs? It took a little while to figure it all out, and it’d be nice to write it down somewhere useful for others 
Oh, links: PlexMovie.bundle and Scanners.bundle

Word of warning. I assume that changing the metadata in a video file will change the hash, and then no subtitles can be fetched from opensubtitles.org automatically (using the feature set we have in 0.9.2.5).
In my case, that's alright. I'm more interested in making sure my media is always recognized correctly.
But shouldn't the hash be computed from the video-part only?
No, it looks at the whole file. So for some this will be a problem. Glad you are not one of them
