For Plex Users - Awesome Metadata Matching Agent
-
For those who utilize Plex to view their media libraries, I've come across this updated Metadata Matching Agent that looks to be an update from an old deprecated agent. Follow the instructions on their GitHub to download the files that will be inserted into your local Plex program files. They have a pretty thorough document you can download that goes step-by-step on how to install the plug-in.

The code basically does a search from the filename and I personally use GEVI (gayeroticvideoindex.com) as my key database. Using the following template for each movie, the site searches for poster art, descriptions, and even actor photos and names.
The more checkboxes for agents you select, the longer it will take to match, so I only keep GEVI checked. If it doesn't match, I try searching other sites and then turn those on when needed to do a specialty match.
I can't recommend this enough, if you're OCD like me, and want everything to be uniform, it's a HUGE help in organizing and classifying your media collections.

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for a way to at least sort and organize my movies in Plex for the longest time!

@ubdc Hi ,
Thanks for all these infos,
i am using Plex for my G-Rated films , and it 's great , but I never got it to work properly for my gay films and scenes, i 'll try to follow your advices and let You know if it worked: I also was looking for alternatives, and found Stash a few days ago, but I did not have more sucess with this app:( -
@ubdc Popping back in on my own comment to say that I installed this on my Synology NAS and it's working well. Most items are being found by the agents without too much lag, and it's a bit surprising to see films for which there's just no data anywhere (that I can verify).
My only "organizational" gripe is that the format of (Studio) - (Title) (year) isn't easy to scroll through an Explorer window. I may make a subfolder for each studio and move them there, but it would be great if the file format was the title of the film first just for ease.
As far as scenes go, that's kind of a mess due to relying on blogs, but what can you do?
Thanks so much @joshallen13 for this!

I only use Plex for mainstream films and TV. All my porn goes through Stash, which handles scenes quite well.

I've used plex for years and absolutely love it,in general and for the longest time I haven't been able to recommend it highly enough. I also use it to stream family home movies and obscure movies/tv shows for friends and family (I was terrified at first but you absolutely can use the managed users features and ensure that specific accounts ONLY see the specific libraries you want them to see)
Sadly, they have continued trying to kill the plugins and I think Plex broke the metadata agents last year BUT you can add it by hand with custom .nfo files now... It's not the end of the world but annoying when I want to quickly determine what actor I'm seeing/what other vids they're in and so on... Anyone else still using Plex? and if so are you able to get the metadata agents working still?

I use Plex, but gave up on trying to get plugins to work.
