Plex Rotten Tomatoes Scraper

Here is a port of the Rotten Tomatoes Scraper for Plex. Let me know the bugs you find. This is the first release and it may not scrape every movie correctly. Use at your own risk.



Special thanks to Red Tape Media for the xmbc code.





To add it to plex

  1. Navigate to the plex app in your applications folder
  2. right click on the app and click “show package contents”
  3. Contents > Resources > Plex > System > Scrapers > video
  4. Paste both the .xml file and the png in the video folder

does this just fetch regular data for my movies or would it allow me to see the rotten tomatoes rating next to every movie ?

If it doesn't can this post be moved to a feature request : Show RT rating next to all movie titles

This scraper no longer works. RT changed their site configuration. I will write a new scraper when plex 9 comes out.

Thank you. I eagerly await a new scraper.

Any luck, now that version 9 is out for some time?



Would be really nice to have this.





Thank you for the effort.
