Interesting! But it seems these datasets don't contain the description of each movie? Do you know where tools such as Jellyfin or Plex get them? Do they simply scrape the website?

The Movie Database (TMDB) is a good resource for this. Likewise, TVMaze offers some details / media missing from TMDB for TV shows.

I found OMDB to be the best for my spaghetti of code

By default, Jellyfin uses TMDB (TheMovieDb) and OMDB (The Open Movie Database) as its metadata providers
