Ratings Sync

Just wanted to share this Ratings Sync plugin. Seems to work well. 

I'm not the author nor associated with them. Just thought folks would find it useful.

Very good plugin, using it for about a month already.

Recommended for everyone who wants to resolve ratings updates once for all....

How is it obtaining this data from those sources?

@ebrUsing official APIs with an optional IMDB scraping as a fallback. In the reddit post, the developer discusses this as a reason it would not be suitable for the official plugin catalog.

Excellent little plug-in, been running it since the author dropped it on Reddit, be warned though if you have a big ass library like I do, that initial scan took 29hrs  after that, it settles down to more of a monitor mode and you can set how often it checks for updates, it added/updated thousands of ratings on that first run. You can disable the IMDB fallback as well.

I really like this plugin.
But the IMDb ratings don't seem to be correct.

On imdb, the series Widow`s Bay currently has a rating of 7.8.
After a recent sync of the series, it shows a 3.7.

How did this discrepancy come about?

Author here, IMDB comes from the available and open api.imdbapi.dev as well as OMDB and MDBList API's (you just add your own keys). Nothing is scraped anymore (imdb used to be with an explicit warning, but they blocked that and this API became available).

Very much enjoying this but had one suggestions.   Currently EMBY lets you natively swap theMovieDB ratings for IMDB on the display.  It would be cool if your plugin had that toggle as well.  Or even better is if it had toggles to let you store one of the other ratings options into the IMDB metadata location.
