With this version, the original Plex Movie agent is now called “Plex Movie (legacy)” and the new one, “Plex Movie” but here I can not see Local Media Assets (Movies) which I believe I need for Plex finding external .srt subs.
Thenks
It should work nonetheless.
Many thanks,
So should I edit the Movies library and select the new Plex Movie agent? Right now it’s using Plex Movie (Legacy)
If you want to use the new agent , you use the new menu item “Upgrade Matching”.
See Introducing the new Plex Movie agent
Many thanks, Otto
Looks like an interesting read 
Looking great so far.
Kudos to the chef
Is there a reason for obscuring what imdb/tmdb ID is being used? I’ve been using the API to fix mismatches and this new approach seems to prevent any such tools from functioning.
Please don’t. Use the “Fix Match” menu item in Plex Web. Because if more users are doing it with the same file name, Plex will “learn” the right match over time.
My overall impression is good.
Refreshing some movies, there are more cast members and more actor’s photos previously missing but I’ve run into a couple of movies where cast members is incomplete compared with the legacy agent.
The article mentions to “drop a post in our forum” if something is amiss. Is there a dedicated thread for these posts?
What is the source of this agent? TMDB? Because there, the cast for these couple of movies is right
Not yet. Feel free to mention these movie here (preferably with release year and/or IMDb ID).
The fact that you seem serious with this reply is baffling me. I hope this does not reflect the thoughts of the developers because this is just a horrible way of going about “improving” your product.
It’s called “crowd-sourcing” and has been all the rage in recent years in about every cloud-based service.
Please add what’s missing or wrong on each movie.
Done. Previous post
You don’t seem to realise that the GUI uses the API when fixing a match. Thus if you didn’t prevent our ability to fix mismatched by being able to identify what it is actually matched to as we could before you would still get the same information for your “crowd sourcing” purposes.
If your “crowd sourcing” reasoning is the sole basis for the format change of guid values it does not seem like a good change.
Could you please do one more? Please fetch the contents of the Plex XML info of both items and post them here.
(Don’t post the URL to the XML)
Couple more observations:
It seems that the cast members is limited to 10 actors
Some movies I have refreshed have suddenly several directors where in reality there is only one
I can’t seem to be able to attach XML files directly. I’ve zipped them individually

Jimi Hendrix.zip (7.6 KB)

It seems you get all names which appear under “Directing” on TMDB https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/381288-split/cast
