IMDB keywords to Plex genre

[Ark0301]

Here's my idea- The user creates a list of keywords. The script then scrapes IMDB keywords for each movie in the library and any matching the user's list are added to the genre field in Plex.

For example:
The script has the keywords "Robot, Dinosaurs, Tragedy, Time Travel, Espionage"
The Terminator original genre field contains "Action, Thriller, Science Fiction" as these are the listed genres on TMDB
The script finds Robot and Time Travel within the Terminator keywords on IMDB
The Terminator genre field now contains "Action, Thriller, Science Fiction, Robot, Time Travel"

The user created list of keywords is necessary, otherwise each movie could end up with potentially hundreds of genres.

Great work! Thanks for everything.

So basically "add a keyword to the genre list in Plex if the keyword is present for the media in the TMDb keyword list, where multiple keywords can be processed at the same time". I understand. I can totally do this :)

That's right. Any time a match is found between the user's keyword list and the online keyword list, it's added into the genre field for the movie in Plex. I said IMDB, but TMDB would work too.
Looking forward to it. Thanks.

BTW TMDb was a typo. The IMDB is fine too. The script will work with the IMDB

Request completed. You can find the script here: https://github.com/Casvt/Plex-scripts/blob/main/various/keywords_to_genre.py. Enjoy!
P.S. it uses the IMDB as promised :)

It works perfectly. Exactly as I described it. Your work is much appreciated. Thanks.

This has been working great so far, but I have one more request.
Would it be possible to add an argument regarding locked genre fields? Either something to ignore locked movies, or by skipping locked movies by default with an argument to edit locked movies too.
Thanks

[Casvt]

So "if the genre field is locked, skip the media"?

[Ark0301]

That's correct. I could do this already by listing specific movies, but it would be convenient to have the script change only the unlocked fields. It already locks the field after making changes, so it could then be run on a schedule and only update the recently added files.
