The Douban plugin is no longer functional.

The Douban plugin is no longer functional. I've seen Luke's reply stating that this plugin has been transformed into a commercial API and started charging fees.
 
I hope that the Douban plugin can be reused, and I'm willing to pay for it.
 
There is a free third-party Douban plugin for Jellyfin. Its link is https://github.com/cxfksword/jellyfin-plugin-metashark.
 
Unfortunately, it seems that the author is unwilling to develop an Emby version. I hope that the Emby official can look for some available Douban plugins, even if it means paying an additional fee for them.

Emby has a Douban plugin but not sure if it still works as reported in older topics but it is still in the catalog.

So if that is true not sure how the other guys are getting around this?

It's true. That's why there is this third-party free software at https://github.com/cxfksword/jellyfin-plugin-metashark. However, this software currently only supports Jellyfin.

The jellyfin plugin looks like it is using Web Scraping to get the info which will be against the terms and conditions of the Douban web site, due to Emby being a commercial application it can not support systems that knowingly violate usage terms and conditions so it can not support a plugin like the one Jellyfin is using.
