Sports metadata for plex using thesportsdb.com or some other database

Are there any plans to support sports metadata inside Plex, using something like thesportsdb.com, or is something out there that is easy to work with, and can retrieve various kind of metadata for sports on the Plex server.

I have found a Python wrapper that someone wrote back in 2016 that uses thesportdb.com, but it is not currently supported, and i have not being able to get it to work, and help is just not available.

I have a lot of sports in files, and would like to find a relatively easy way to get metadata for them ,like movies and shows, and built a nice sports library.

Any help, would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Plex doesn’t usually comment on their roadmap. There’s a feature suggestion to add an official agent to support TheSportsDb.com – though it appears there’s been rather few attention to it so far.

Hi.
Thank you for the quick reply.

Do you know how I can go about asking Plex about this, and see if I can help in any way to promote this, as do maybe it can become part of official Plex.

It seems like the sportsdb.com has become quite good, and for us sports buffs, it would be good to have rich metadata, similar to movies, tv shows, etc.

Thank you in advance

Typically you’ll start by voting for that feature suggestion.

Ok. Thank you. I have already done this in the previous post that is hanging out there.

I wonder if there is a way that I can contact someone in Plex and maybe see if there is anything I can do to support this endeavor. Do you know if there is some way to contact someone in Plex develoment?

Sorry, nothing/nobody I’m aware of.

Hi Ton.
Thank you for the reply. I found something on the Plex site and sent an email.

I will wait to see if I receive a response.
