[REL] Open Movie Database

This is a Metadata Agent for the Open Movie Database. It uses the existing Freebase Agent to lookup the IMDb id, then retrieves movie info from Open Movie Database. The Agent will get the following information (English only!): title, year, MPAA rating, release date, genres, directors, writers, actors, plot, rating (IMDb and/or Tomatometer), duration and poster.

Since people keep asking the same questions over and over again, please note:

1. This is NOT an IMDb Agent, the data is not coming from IMDb (not directly at least).
2. Ratings may be different from what you see on the IMDb website, because [see #1].
3. Ratings are expressed as a number between 0 and 10, but most Plex clients display 0 to 5 stars (3 stars = 6, 3.5 stars = 7, etc.). This Agent just retrieves the values, it can't do anything about how this is displayed.
4. This Agent works with the Plex Media Server, it is of no use to you if you have just access to a shared library.
