I have previously managed to get a rating from all titles above, but after a refresh, no iMDB ratings appear anymore. It’s been a month now…
I too no longer seem to be able to get the IMDB logo to automatically show up on any movies added - old or new - and haven’t done for the past few weeks. Luckily I have learnt how to externally edit the Plex database and am now able to add the logo to any movie regardless 
Share you unlimited knowledge, please
lol… most definitely not unlimited!
I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your Plex setup. Please make sure you are confident in what you are doing!!
This may be too much for some to want to do - although once the initial setup/database addition is done its super easy and quick thereafter.
This is what I posted on another post about editing something else… I have edited it to make it relevant to the IMDB logo part…
It’s a little risky though as it involves directly editing the library database - get it wrong and it will break plex!!
First,
BACK UP THE DATABASE FILE!!!
BACK UP THE DATABASE FILE!!!
BACK UP THE DATABASE FILE!!!
It is located here:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases
The file to backup is ‘com.plexapp.plugins.library.db’
Next, you will need SQLiteStudio to edit the database - google it, it is free.
Once installed, open the program and add the plex database (Database->Add A Database->Click the yellow folder icon to browse for existing Database File → locate the com.plexapp.plugins.library.db file and click add). The plex database should now show in the left column.
Now to start editing… Right click the database and select connect - you should now see the tables in the database. Click tables to drop the list of tables in the left column. Now find the one called ‘metadata_items’. Click this to open this table. then click columns… then double click ‘id’ to open it on the right hand side.
Close any popups and click the ‘data’ tab at the top - this should then load the list of your movies. Now at the top there is a ‘filter data’ box - use this to filter the name of the movie.
Once you have found the movie - scroll across to the right and find the ‘extra_data’ field. In this field there may already be some text (something along the lines of ‘ex%3AprimaryExtraKey=%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F91593&ma%3AchapterSource=agent’)
To get the IMDB logo to appear you need to edit the text and insert the following text BEFORE existing text…
at%3AratingImage=imdb%3A%2F%2Fimage%2Erating&
(giving a field containing something like ‘at%3AratingImage=imdb%3A%2F%2Fimage%2Erating&ex%3AprimaryExtraKey=%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F91593&ma%3AchapterSource=agent’)
Now click the green tick at the top to commit the changes to the database and then disconnect the database. Now when you refresh plex, your movie should show the logo.
If for any reason you manage to damage the database - copy the backup of the .db file back to the directory and it should reset back to how it was prior to any changes
On a side note - if, like me, you want graphics as complete as you can - you can edit the database in the same way to add missing images for actors etc. Instead of working on the ‘metadata_items’ table, you need to work in the ‘Tags’ table. Once opened you will see a column called ‘tag_type’. I believe 6 is for actors. ‘user_thumb_url’ is the field for your image url.
