Plex NFO Agent Forum Preview

Took the new build and ran a test, migrating my large movie library (4k+) to the new agent. This is what I done …

  1. generated a nfo file for every movie with just uniqueid, title, originaltitle, plot, tagline and genre.
  2. created a custom agent with Plex NFO Movie as primary and then Plex Local Media and Plex Movie as additional providers (in that order).
  3. changed the movie library now to use my custom agent rather than the plex one
  4. scanned the library and then force refreshed the library
  5. clean bundles and optimise database to rebuild any search indexes

Overall it went well. All nfo data is loaded into plex. All movies remained matched and the played/unwatched count remained the same. Checking the played status of a movie takes me to the dashboard as normal and it correctly shows the number of times a movie has been played. All great.

The one oddity I noticed is when selecting a cast member which takes me to discovery credits. So, using hamnet again as my example if I select Jessie Buckley from this movie

… the resulting page in discovery credits only displays the credits for the shows and not the movies which have been migrated.

Could this be due to the fact I’m in a semi migrated state where the tv library has not yet migrated to the new nfo system ? Don’t think it should matter but its the only thing I can think off.

BTW… may try tv shows tomorrow but I’ve still some work to do on my side as I’ve 43k episodes to generate nfo’s for :slight_smile:

EDIT: in case its helpful here is the xml from the one after switching to nfo and the one beforehand.
