One Liner

/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server --sqlite /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db "UPDATE metadata_items SET added_at = datetime(originally_available_at, '+365 days') WHERE id = 'xxxxx';"

Bash Script

Find $ID by clicking movie name, more, get info, View XML and look for <Video ratingKey="XXXXX"
The ratingKey number is the $ID to use for the script.
