Yep, I'll be adding an option to save to set folder within the central folder.

For episode renaming, still planned, just not completed.

And no idea why MC is hanging in memory when shut down. Maybe rename the manifest file in MC folder and see if that does the trick.

I'll give that a try.  Is this the problem with apostrophes?  "Warren's Wedding"  This is what I'm getting in the nfo.  Had a problem also scraping any of the "Marvel's" series.

Title with apostrophe should be fixed in latest 3.717 mediacompanion.

But spotted issues with apostrophe in plot for episodes.
Bugger.

Will look into it

vbat99,

Assume you develop a webpage for ratings that has high participation. Scraping your site would be:

<rating name="vbat99critics" max="10">
            <value>9.5</value>
            <votes>227</votes>
        </rating

Do you know if Kodi has code to accept ratings other than metacritics,tomato,moviedb and imdb?

I honestly don't know if the sources, eg: name="blabla" is hard coded in Kodi or not. I would expect it is, but don't know for sure.

Only a few shows with apostrophe in the title and in episode names had problems.  Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Marvel's...

vbat99,

For existing movie nfo's... how can I rescrape to include rotten tomatoes (both), tmdb and metacritic?

New movies is not an issue, but existing I can't find a way

thanks

(2018-09-02, 07:07)MANswers Wrote: [ -> ]Vbatt, the option to centrally store movie set artwork is working very well for me. I have been able to dump artwork for all my movie sets that are spread across various folders. However I have a request to make, can you include downloading of other artwork such as clearlogo, clearart, discart, landscape as well? Right now the movie sets are downloading only "Movie Collection-Poster" and "Movie Collection-Fanart"... can you include the option to download the other artworks for movie sets in the central folder for these type of artwork also? please?
"Movie Collection-clearlogo"
"Movie Collection-clearart"
"Movie Collection-discart"
"Movie Collection-landscape"

I will look at adding this to the next release. Possibly with the options to store the artwork in Movie Collection folders within the Central folder.
This collection folder within the central folder is something ArtworkBeef is recommending, but not set in stone. 

 Thanks vbatt.. thats good news. Seriously mate the centralized option to download movie set is so good. You do not have to create folders manually, and then go about downloading artwork manually etc. I have a folder and a smart menu in kodi for 4K UHD movies, now i can have partial movie in regular movie collection and the partial 4K movie set in another, and still be able to view them in one "Movie" menu togather.. and have a seperate 4K smart menu playlist that only shows 4K movies. 
Looking forward to the new release mate.

So here we have TVDb being an Ass again.
Searching for Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, we need to change the apostrophe to code '
But, Marvel's Luke Cage, we don't.

WHAT THE!!!!!
Now coded for both possibilities. In Next release.

If the movie was scraped by TMDb, then you should have at least TMDb ratings.
If TMDB and also option for IMDb Ratings selected, you'll TMDB, IMDB and Metacritic
But if you are using IMDb as the scraper, at this time you only get IMDb ratings and Metacritic. No TMDb ratings with IMDb scraper at this point in time.

You will get Rotten Tomato ratings if this option is selected in Common Preferences tab.

Also, Batch Rescrape has a new option Rotten Tomato which will scrape the Rotten Tomato ratings (Audience and Critics).

BTW, to get Rotten Tomato ratings, you will need to get your own OMDb API Key and add this into Media Companion.

I especially love being able to write all available ratings in the nfo now.
Kodi supports all ratings completely native, I have now rewritten the skin so that the .nfo is used and not on SkinHelper live scraper.
It is still a bit provisional, but it shows nicely that it works very well on the .nfo.

That's what it looks like in a Top250 movie.
https://ibb.co/evVr0K
With a good movie
https://ibb.co/iTZZLK
For a "normal" movie
https://ibb.co/fgsX7z
In a bad movie
https://ibb.co/gFF27z
If no ratings are available (for e.g. youtube fan movies) I have instead of 0.0 to show a text output built.
https://ibb.co/hbwELK

The blue marks are still data on SkinHelper real-time scraper
The yellow markings are those that have now been taken over by the .nfo:
https://ibb.co/ijQc7z
The Skin loading the DialogVideoInfo.xml now much smoother and the traffic in the background is now much less.

Very nice!

Great Thanks!

Your dialogvideoinfo mod, is krypton or leia?

vbat99,

Not sure how much work this is....

Recently added minority report and it scraped imdb, metacritic,moviedb,rotten and rotten. Underneath this, it scrapes ratings again, which in my case matches imdb which is what I use in my main settings (use moviedb but scrape ratings from imdb):

<ratings>
        <rating name="imdb" max="10" default="true">
            <value>7.7</value>
            <votes>451,694</votes>
        </rating>
        <rating name="metacritic" max="10">
            <value>8.0</value>
            <votes>37</votes>
        </rating>
        <rating name="themoviedb" max="10">
            <value>7.2</value>
            <votes>3,737</votes>
        </rating>
        <rating name="tomatometerallcritics" max="10">
            <value>9.1</value>
            <votes>247</votes>
        </rating>
        <rating name="tomatometerallaudience" max="10">
            <value>8.0</value>
            <votes>480,933</votes>
        </rating>
    </ratings>
    <rating>7.7</rating>
    <votes>451,694</votes>

My recommendation would be to eliminate the last 2 rows of the rating section since it is a double dip of data (unless needed for prior Kodi versions).

If possible, I would also like to request that the rating and votes button on the wizard updates all the ratings, not just the last 2 rows on the example above. Same applies to when you right click the movie and select rescrape specific. I would also eliminate the metascore button on this section and on the wizard section.

thanks

@vbat99 

Quote:Are you saying MC is scraping with 0.0 rating and N/A in Votes? and this is coming from RT?

 Yes, sometimes, but then I saw that if that's the case, it's also an entry on the rotten website, just without any ratings. Still have a look on it.

Quote:It may be possible to add the option to get TMDb votes if using the IMDb scraper.

 That's great!

Quote:If I recall correctly if TMDb scraper and get IMDb rating, them both TMDB and IMDb get scraped and IMDb is set to Primary( or default = 'True')

Ah, ok, that means if scraped only with TMDB, only then have only the TMDB ratings in it.

Quote:The other entries in the nfo for Rating and Votes is the value from the default source, and yes is for compatability.

I have just tested.. last rating is really not needed by kodi anymore
So a kind of "Legacy" support for those still using a Kodi version under 17.

Quote:Yep, I'll be adding an option to save to set folder within the central folder.

Oh man, that means I can finally test the Movie Set Artwork Central Folder function. I imagine that this is not easy to programming.
If i do so ... will it differ from the options and the handling of the "normal usual" way?
By that I mean the tabs "Poster" and "Fanart" and "MovieSet" as well as the Artwork Indicator (under rescrape button).

Will i need to manually fill the folder (paste copy manual or new scraping)
Or would it be able to export existing artwork from the MovieSet parent folder to the central folder and vice versa?

Quote:If the movie was scraped by TMDb, then you should have at least TMDb ratings.

Also, Batch Rescrape has a new option Rotten Tomato which will scrape the Rotten Tomato ratings (Audience and Critics).

BTW, to get Rotten Tomato ratings, you will need to get your own OMDb API Key and add this into Media Companion.

I think you have to write that answer somewhere big. I think that will be some questions that are newcomers to MC. Maybe somehow restructure ratings management, I have no idea.

Please refer to my signature under my posts. But the .xml is custom coded, on mod it's looking bit differnt.

No, Kodi can only operate with these:

And as you can see, all of them are supported in MC for a few days now - great!

As Rob said, it's the "Legacy support" rating for versions older than Kodi17, cause the db system changed.

Chrissix,

Do you mind sharing your modded dialogvideoinfo file?

Thanks

How do i get the rotten tomato and other ratings as shown here in this page?


I do have the regular omdb api keys, or do i need to be a patreon supported every month to obtain the premium keys to draw this data to kodi?
