Thanks Mr N
I have been digging further and the results are a) yes, Plex stores metadata in it's own database (SQLite), however b) if you set some MP4 tags Plex will read those.
There is a command line tool called Exiftool that can write those tags, so I need to figure out how to write a script, with variables passed from Noodle, to do that. Unfortunately, all my previous attempts at scripting failed miserably.
Once more into the beach!
