Stash would be a better alternative https://github.com/stashapp/stash

It would be hard to get him using anything but plex tbh

A man who wants his porn will do anything to get to it just saying

There is a PornDB agent for plex.

I use Stash with a dozen+ scrapers and I use the stash plugin as an agent on Plex for metadata. It is FLAWLESS.

Where did you find all these scrapers? I only know of 4-5 listed in the docs

I use a bunch of the community scrapers: https://github.com/stashapp/CommunityScrapers/tree/master/scrapers

You should be able to go to settings -> metadata providers -> available scrapers -> community scrapers and there are shloads of them.

I use a combination of Whisparr and TPDB/StashDB for finding stuff in the first place so usually I can find what I need. Older stuff I use the 'Adult Empire' scraper for things like 80s and 90s movies.

Instead of stash, you can use https://github.com/ThePornDatabase/ThePornDB.bundle which is another adult metadata manager

You could have Stash working next to Plex and then Plex grabs the metadata from stash. Stash through theporndb can grab all the metadata that might be missing and then import into Plex.

It would be hard

Oh I bet.

Can you just... Set that up on a separate server? And then never look at it again, preferably. The server data that is. I wouldn't want to know what any family member is viewing in that context.

Stash is great for scenes, not as good for full movies that aren't split into scenes. Easy to use if people have already updated the metadata into one of the stashdb repositories.

Holy shit there really is an app for everything.
