SportScanner VS YouTube-Agent.bundle

Use SportScanner. Get the naming convention from SportsDB.

I know it is here https://github.com/mmmmmtasty/SportScanner

I use SportScanner. Name your files the way they are named in thesportsdb.com

Create your own metadata agent that calls to your web server to get the image to add to the metadata. I'm not aware of any formal documentation that still exists for creating metadata agents. This archive of dev.plexapp.com might help: https://web.archive.org/web/20150113085312/http://dev.plexapp.com:80/docs/agents/models.html, but you may be stuck with looking at existing agents (like SportScanner.bundle) to see real examples of how to grab images for Plex to use.

Trying to get SportScanner working without much luck. I had it in the wrong folders originally but got that worked out.

I assume you've got the Scanners and SportScanner.bundle folders in the wrong locations. The installation instructions are fairly clear.

Try SportScanner.

This is the way to go. I don't know the exact specifics, but there are some good Plex Agents for Youtube, including https://github.com/ZeroQI/YouTube-Agent.bundle and https://github.com/benkle-libs/YTDL-Agent.bundle

Ah, some assumptions go out the window when you start using third-party agents/scanners, since they don't need to (and usually don't) follow Plex's normal naming conventions. That said, I'm not sure what's going wrong on your end, since I just followed the setup instructions here, copied your file names above, and that seemed to work (minus the name of the show getting set to the file path for some reason): https://i.imgur.com/hivSzYl.png

It's the Youtube video IDs. The YouTubeSeries agent uses that to grab the metadata from Youtube.

First, You need a working Metadata Agent that you can get from here this works perfectly fine. Personally, I use the Movies Library type but it should also work with the TV-Shows library type but the following workflow is built around the Movie Library.

I have Plex linked to ZeroQI's YouTube-Agent.bundle and ZeroQI's Absolute Series Scanner.

I personally had issues using these, on plex's end, but hopefully you will have better luck. https://github.com/JordyAlkema/Youtube-DL-Agent.bundle https://github.com/ZeroQI/YouTube-Agent.bundle

I set up the youtube add-on for plex so that it can use my API key to get the video information.

For example, when you have youtube videos you could create a dedicated youtube library and then use the Youtube-Metadata Agent.
