New Plex Movie agent

My own feedback:

For me my preference is to get my metadata from one single location, TMDB. I’ve used the plex movie agent with all the settings set that way for many years (below for reference):

So with the new and improved agent I would have expected that this level of customization for users who want it would still exist. Alas I was wrong.

The new agent grabs various aspects of meta data from multiple location, which is fine but the fact it cannot be configured or adjusted is a major shortfall. Add then that it only adds 10 cast members makes it a major step backwards in comparison to the previous agent(s). The only improvement that I can see with this agent is that its fast, super fast at least from the testing I have done with it.

Anyhow, I hope at least for folks like me that the old agent and/or The Movie Database agent remain within plex. Getting forced to this new agent will make me mad and sad so hope it does not happen until at least we get functional parity with what we had previously.
