I’m downloading Let’s Plays from YouTube. I want to set the “Show” title as the YouTuber (eg. “StephenPlays”), and the “Season” title as the video game (eg. “Twilight Princess”).
Is there any third party plugin that allows for naming of seasons?
Scanner decide for series the show title, season, episode number, and episode title until the agent updates it
Then the agent populate the season summary although not many would since thetvdb doesn’t give season summary
source clearly indicates within its 55 lines “class YouTubeAgent(Agent.Movies):” so it is a movie agent, period
You can name your files “StephenPlays/Season 1 Twilight Princess/StephenPlays Twilight Princess.ext” if using movies scanner and folders will be skipped and with this agent that should work (filename will have youtube title).
you could modify it to be a series agent but whose game to assign to which season?
The trouble with the Youtube Metadata Agent /is/ that it is a movie agent. Stephen Georg’s Skyrim LP has over 200 episodes, so using a Movie Library is not feasible.
The (official) Personal Media Shows Agent, and the (unofficial) Extended Personal Media Shows Agent, both don’t utilize custom Season naming. You can use custom season folder names, but said folder names are ignored by the interface.
I don’t particularly have to have Youtube metadata automatically populate, but I do really want to be able to set custom season names.
Seasons in plex are numbers or years
You could use: “StephenPlays/Season 1 Twilight Princess/StephenPlays Twilight Princess xxx.ext”
A serie agent could use the description after season number as season summary.
I don’t think there is a season title
I could modify the youtube agent to be a series one but the file neming should allow to find the right youtube info… does this fit your requirements?
The season summary only appears as a subheading inside said season, not as a title (or subtitle) on the series page or on the dashboard. So no automatic handling of metadata for the Season Summary would suffice, as I said.
As I said: I would like to know if there is any third-party plugin I can install on PMS than can give custom names to seasons. Whether metadata is automatically scraped, from Youtube or otherwise, is somewhat irrelevant.

The structure is rigid, the scanner add files, metadata agent populate metadata.
Plex has no title metadata field for seasons so NO.
You should make a channel pluging to display youtube videos that way.
Have no experience with channels but should be doable
You can try this (Forgot where i got it from, but been using it myself):
Just go to the season you want to rename, then click the edit button. Now, right click on the "summary" text area and use your browser's text editing capability to add this:
<input name="title" value="title goes here" />
just before the <textarea> block. You'll get a new field on the page, and clicking "Save" will actually save your changed season title. Nice!
