Hello,

Has anyone tried making a playlist using the MPAA ratings and got it to work? I quickly tried last night using something like "Rated G" as a rule..it didn't work as I got R rated movies as well. I then tried just "G" that didn't work either as no movies came up.
So is it possible to make a playlist based on these ratings? Has anyone made one? Can you post your playlist for me to gander at?

Thanks,
Mark

Its because MPAA ratings come with an explanation of why they are rated which is stored in the db so certain rules don't work

Use the Rule "Rating" "Starts with" then add the rating as "Rated PG-13" you must include "Rated" with the actual rating when using Starts with

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Rating</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="mpaarating" operator="startswith">Rated PG-13</rule>
</smartplaylist>

You can use "Rating" "Contains" but I personally think using starts with is more accurate
