Convenient way to enter a lot (100s of episodes) of TV metadata?
Unfortunately, Plex does not support NFO files, at least not with the new Metadata Agents. You would need to use 3rd Party Metadata Agents for Movies and TV-Shows and then use a separate library to use them since 3rd Party Agents don't work anymore in tandem with the new Plex official Agents.

Managing file metadata for home videos
Download this agent. Follow instructions under "Manual Installation." Now you have a new importing agent for plex.

Software to create nfo files based on Metadata of videos?
While Plex normally doesn't read nfo files, you can install XBMCnfoMoviesImporter and XBMCnfoTVImporter agents to make it possible.

How do you use tinyMediaManager?
To utilize NFO files you would need the NFO importer Metadata Agent for Movies and TV-Shows.

Need Help with Organizing Spongebob on my Plex
Fourth: Using a different Agent. There is an NFO Importer that can read NFO files that you would need to create. This would make the metadata completely local and "refreshing" it would mean that you have to change it manually. Unfortunately, those "type" of agents are 3rd Party and rely on an old dependency in plex. While they still work, there is no official statement yet when those metadata agents will stop working. Plex has deprecated plugins for 4-5 years now which Metadata agents are technically a part of. That also means that you wouldn't be able to mix those agents together. Unfortunately, you cannot select a 3rd Party agent to retrieve metadata for a library that is mainly using the new and official plex metadata agents.

Moving a Plex install to another system
For example, you could create NFO files to store the metadata next to the video files and then use the NFO Movies Importer or NFO TV-Show Importer to read those NFO files that you can create with tinyMediaManager. You could also look into Plex-Meta-Manager but either of those solutions would require that you already have those files or create them, nothing really to get them out of plex in an easy way.

Plex deleted metadata after scanning library
The first one would be to use a different metadata Agent there NFO importer for TV-Shows and Movies. They will read the NFO files and add them to your Library item. AFAIK you can create those NFO files with TinyMediaManager This would give you total control over the metadata being added.

Merging Libraries Without Losing Metadata?
Not completely. You can use the Lambda Metadata agent to extract some metadata to store it locally like posters (see the description of the Agent to see what it saves).

-
Can you burn the metadata you have edited in Plex to your files so that you don’t have to edit them again if you create a new server?
Look into Lambda and XBMCnfoTVImporter.
- Export Photo Library Thumbnails?

Any way to save metadata corresponding to the file in nfo format, with the poster?

how to remove "upgrade libraries" notification?
If you're worried about losing your custom posters, try Lambda.bundle. It's a Plex plug-in that will save all of your artwork locally. Then all you need to do is make sure you have your libraries set to use local assets.

Did the last server update cause several items to get unmatched and reset a bunch of cover art for anyone else?
Restore the back-up, install the plugin Lamdba https://github.com/ZeroQI/Lambda.bundle. It will export all of your posters to your media folders as local assets. Then after the export, delete Lambda, switch scanner back to the newest and make sure you have prefer local metadata toggled. No more plex changing posters.

How to add movie cover art, synopsis, cast, etc. to digital movies
I heard there was an NFO plugin where you can have it extract all the information Plex imports like cast and stuff and save it locally. I have it running, but haven't messed with it much. It'll grab all the cast and such information and store it in a NFO file.
