Adding imdb tag to iflicks movie#

Within the Agents menu, select “Movies” and then “Plex Movie”. To adjust the default ratings scraper on your Plex Media Server, open the web-based interface for your server and navigate to Settings > Server > Agents. Option One: Adjusting the Default Scraper to Use New Sources We’re outlining both methods here so that, should the simple method fail in the future before of pressure put on Plex by either IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, you can still pull rankings from those sites into your Plex ecosystem.

Why choose one over the other? While tweaking the Plex scraper works fine now, historically Plex has had a thorny relationship with IMDb, because IMDb has argued that Plex’s use of the ratings is commercial use (even though the rating data is downloaded by individuals at home and not the actual Plex company).

You can take the easy route and tweak the existing Plex Movies scraper, or you can take the (very slightly) harder route and install a totally new scraper that pulls ratings from IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes by way of The Open Movie Database. If you want more accurate ratings pulled from a broader pool of movie reviewers, there are two ways you can go about it. This is how you end up with so many movies in Plex that have 3/5 stars-many of the rated movies on The Movie Database only have a few reviews and average 5-6 out of 10, which translates to 3/5 in the Plex interface. While we love The Movie Database, and it’s great for getting most metadata (like artwork and direction/cast information), the rating side of things simply isn’t as well developed the ratings on sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
