Do you know which scraper media importer plex use?

I would like to use universal movie scraper on Kodi but can only do so by adding the movie location in media settings. However not sure how media importer is scraping and or if this is possible.

Cheers
@LongMan is right. Kodi doesn't use scrapers on media items added to the library by a media importer (add-on). Since Plex (or Emby or whatever) already has scrapers which collect all the necessary metadata the media importer add-ons can retrieve the media items with all the metadata already available. If Kodi would run scrapers over these media items again it would desynchronize the items from the Plex / Emby servers.

Thanks both. It is more related to have clearart for the files etc and download additional fan art for the library items.
There's already an open feature request for this for mediaimporter.plex at https://github.com/Montellese/mediaimpor.../issues/18. Emby server already supports retrieving additional artwork which is why this is not a problem when using Emby and mediaimporter.emby.
