Hey everybody,
I made a plugin that provides IMDb ratings for Jellyfin. Instead of relying on third-party APIs (which often have rate limits or miss episode data), this plugin downloads and caches the official IMDb ratings dataset locally. It is completely free for personal and non-commercial projects!
Key Features:
You can easily install it by adding my custom repository URL directly to your Jellyfin dashboard (Dashboard -> Plugins -> Repositories):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/veryba...ifest.json
More information, manual ZIP downloads, and the source code can be found here: https://github.com/verybadsoldier/jellyfin-plugin-imdbratings
Happy if you want to try it out! Let me know if you run into any issues or have feedback.

Key Features:
- Zero Rate Limits: Fast, local lookups directly from the cached IMDb dataset (title.ratings.tsv.gz).
- Auto-Updates: Includes a scheduler task that runs daily to keep your library's ratings perfectly up to date as scores change over time.
- Seamless Integration: Acts as a regular metadata provider. It's smart enough to piggyback off your existing plugins (like TMDB/TVDB) to grab the IMDb ID, so your plugin priority order doesn't matter!
- Jellyfin 10.11.x or newer.
