Plex is amazing at organizing all of our media especially Movies, Tv & Music, These 3 are almost flawless (if the naming is right). Plex does a decent job at organizing Porn too but its far from being good let alone perfect. I’m a premium member and I have a fairly large collection of Adult Content [6TB].
My question is when will we get official support for adult movies (Porn)?
The problem now is that it sometimes gets the meta correct for some videos and no meta for others (mostly no meta for most videos).
I for one know that its possible to do that because we have adult content databases and we need some kind of the agent to link our collection to that database so that we can get meta etc.
There is some agent like “excalibur” and most of them are 3rd party and often the project is left after sometime cuz’ a single developer can not do this for free for a long time. That being said, the ball is now in plex development teams corner cuz’ only you guys can develop a robust and long-lasting agent and a scanner for adult movies.
Being a premium member I do feel that at least some beta project should be launched so that we can better arrange our Adult collection.
As I have already told you it is possible and only you guys at plex can help us, so please do.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Here are some suggested databases -

To be honest, this problem lies with metadata and file naming first, and agents second.
Consider that you would have to name your media in a consistent manner, and have a metadata library that will consistently match the data correctly. There currently is no consistent method of naming adult media, nor is there an easily-accessible metadata library that collects all this data for matching purposes.
You also have to take into account the multiple Actor/Actress naming over studios vs amateur content, genre conflicts, web scenes vs physical releases vs web series and you have a pretty tangled metadata mess.
A little-known fact is that The Movie Database does, in fact, cater for adult movies (you enable it by ticking the “Allow Adult Media” checkbox when you select your agent for a library) but the contents are few and far between (do you volunteer to update the database? It doesn’t happen automatically). But TMDb restricts its library to movies, so web-series and scenes are not allowed (and how would they be named for matching, anyway?)
So there are agents for some of the various databases out there (all quite incomplete, and all skirting the litigious studios or don’t allow reasonable API access).
Plex created the environment that allows for custom Agents to be made, and they have. That the agents aren’t consistent is not Plex’s fault. The taxonomy just doesn’t exist yet.

I have adult content checked on all agents and still finds none
