TMDB as a backup agent in Plex Movie?

Server Version#: Latest Plexpass

Is it not possible to have TheMovieDB as a backup agent for Plex Movie the way Plex Movie is a backup to TheMovieDB? I need Plex Movie as my default library agent for movie trailers but some movies will just only match with TheMovieDB and it will just sit there unmatched until I manually match it with TheMovieDB.

I’m shocked this isnt a bigger issue for others.

If you enable the line ‘Plex Movie’ under the ‘The Moviedatabase’ agent, you should get trailers anyway. Even if you match an item with TMDB. (Unless the item in question doesn’t have a IMDb ID in its TMDB record.)

But if I dont choose Plex Movie as the agent in the library settings then the option for Trailers goes away.

What happens if you enable the gathering of trailers via the ‘Gear’ beside the Plex Movie Agent, in TMDB tab?

I don’t know what will happen, but I just looked under my Plex Movie ‘Gear’ (in the TMDB tab) - and the option is there. My primary agent is TMDB.
