I use a script to automatically match unmatched movies, I use the same web request of plex web to “match” or “fix match” the movie metadata, which just sends the IMDb Id of the movie to the plex server :
http://192.168.0.1:32400/library/metadata/8868/match?guid=com.plexapp.agents.imdb%3A%2F%2Ftt0499549%3Flang%3Den&name=Avatar&year=2009
I can use the same web method to set the IMDb Id but only this one is set in plex. In plex web when you (fix) match a movie also the metadata (cover, description, genre, etc) are refreshed. How can you achieve the same result with a script?
I know that theoretically it is possible to “refresh the metadata” by calling the web method: http://192.168.0.1:32400/library/metadata/8868/refresh
But it doesn’t work, also in plex web if I click the “refresh metadata” it does nothing.
Is there a web method in the plex API to make plex refresh the movie metadata by just passing the IMDb Id?
