Hey guys, It seems that the new Movie Agent is not populating any metadata field containing the imdb id (which the previous agent was doing). This has had the knock on effect of breaking (URL) notifications that point to 3rd party sites like imdb, trakt, TMDb. Was the removal of this intentional,…

There are no immediate plans to remove the current agents.

[image] New Plex Movie agent Plex Media Server This change is intentional and is part of how the new metadata agent and scanner works. We handle merging metadata from IMDb/TMDb/Rotten Tomatoes etc on our side and provide a consistent “Plex GUID” for that item to PMS. This …

Wow, that sucks. New Plex Movie agent This is also part of how we are able to improve the performance and reliability of library scans. I call bullshit on that. It would be very easy to include another field in the metadata containing an imdb (or any other site) reference. Sometimes it feel…

Sometimes it feels like Plex Inc really hate their customers. That makes a lot of sense. A company defintely wants to drive away their income stream. :roll_eyes: Working in a different company within the customer support side, I can tell you that it’s 100% impossible to please all of your custo…

[image] mushtang: This update is still in Beta release. Personally I would label the new agent as BETA rather than renaming the old agent to Legacy. Legacy is as good as writing deprecated. Also Beta should be opt in, New Movie libraries are created with the new Agent, this does not feel li…

I didn’t say they hate their customers, I said it feels like they hate their customers. You don’t get to tell me how something makes me feel I didn’t tell you how something makes you feel. You did. Either way, it’s stupid to think, say, feel, or otherwise insinuate that a business hates their c…

Plex’s failure to connect with their userbase is well known and if there’s an Olympics in that sport - Plex would stand atop the podium with enough Gold to sink Fort Knox. However… I haven’t touched Plex Movie in over a Decade - except to match a version to it in order to stop ‘Double Trouble’ in …

@anon18523487 , is the instruction to use the old agent basically indicating that there is no plan to add back the IMDb info into the metadata? We obviously cannot control that decision (though I am sure it will negatively impact a fair number of people), but I think most of us just want a bit of tr…
