OMDb metadata provider for Phlix — IMDb/RT/Metascore ratings aggregation for movies and TV.

Queries the OMDb API to enrich Phlix media items with IMDb ID, Rotten Tomatoes critic rating, and Metascore ratings. Ratings are stored in the metadata_ratings table and feed into Phlix's rating aggregation pipeline.

Features

• IMDb ID resolution — search by title + year to resolve the canonical IMDb ID
• Multi-source ratings — captures IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metascore scores
• Non-blocking HTTP — async HTTP client compatible with Workerman's event loop
• Rate limiting — configurable request throttling to respect OMDb API limits
• Response caching — configurable in-memory cache TTL to reduce API calls
• TLS verification toggle — option to disable SSL verification for self-hosted proxies
• Ratings ingestion — writes ratings directly to metadata_ratings for aggregation

Install

The plugin is unsigned by design — install via the Phlix admin UI:

1. Log in to your Phlix server as an admin user (users.is_admin = 1).

2. Browse to /admin/plugins.

3. Paste this URL into the Install from URL form and submit:

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/detain/phlix-plugin-omdb/main/plugin.json
   

4. The server downloads the manifest, validates it, runs composer install --no-dev, and stores a row in the plugins table. The plugin lands disabled by default.

5. Flip the toggle in the table to enable it.

6. Enter your OMDb API key in the plugin settings (get one at http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx).

Configuration

What it does

When enabled, the plugin registers as a MetadataSourceInterface provider. When the Phlix metadata manager requests details for a media item:

1. The plugin receives the search query (title + optional year)
2. It queries OMDb's search endpoint to find matching entries
3. It fetches full details including ratings for the selected IMDb ID
4. Ratings are written to metadata_ratings and feed into the rating aggregation
