Plex NFO Agent Forum Preview

Hopefully a quick one. I setup a custom metadata agent as follow …

… which from my understanding takes nfo, local assets and then anything that is missing pulls that from plex movie.

However, in the advanced settings of a new library with this agent these options are missing …

  • Find extras
  • Only show trailers
  • Allow red band trailers
  • Localized subtitles
  • Minimum automatic collection size

… which are present when creating a traditional library. I’d like to set these to disabled and collection size to 2. Is it intentional to have these removed in this scenario ?

BTW… for this test I’m using a pretty basic nfo file so that I can set those values via NFO and get everything else from plex.

<movie>
  <uniqueid type='tmdb' default='true'>858024</uniqueid>
  <title>Hamnet</title>
  <originaltitle>Hamnet</originaltitle>
  <premiered>2025-11-26</premiered>
  <plot>The powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.</plot>
  <tagline>Keep your heart open.</tagline>
  <genre>Drama</genre>
  <genre>Romance</genre>
  <genre>History</genre>
</movie>

Also, as an workaround I can create a library with plex movie agent and then switch afterwards to my custom one.
