Plex is using the new PLEX MOVIE agent ... server is version 1.20.1.3252

I have no idea what causes the error. At that point the value should not be null and cause that NPE there. To fix it I've added a mitigation that skips such entries and logs an error with the associated entry, so we can investigate further. Make sure to update your docker to get the version with the hotfix.

Start the tool again and see if you find such an entry in the logfile:
Null value encountered. Should not be possible. Skipping entry to not crash tool. Contact maintainer with this dump

If so post the dump in here so we can investigate further.
