This addon updates the ratings of your movies and the Top250 position from IMDb.

Inspired by this 2 add-ons: Rating Update and IMDb Ratings for Movies

Download:
script.imdbupdate-0.8.10.zip

Attention:
the script gets the ratings from http://omdbapi.com which are only updated once a week, so the votes can differ sometimes.

Bug reports and feature requests are very appreciated.

Features:

• update the movie rating and vote count (only if something changed)
  
• update the IMDB Top250 movies
  
• update the MPAA rating for movies (US / DE)
  
• write missing Top250 movies to the addon_data folder
  
• update only movies with more than 0.1% vote increase (much faster)
  
• run in background
  
• run periodically
  
• start parameters for skinners (see below)
  
• resume movie rating update if it was cancelled
  
• simple GUI to select what should be updated
  
• progress bar
  

For Skinners:
Create a button with the function:
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, movies [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, top250 [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, mpaa [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, movies|top250|mpaa [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, all [,hidden] )

This add-on seems to work great!

I made a temp icon for myself and thought I would share it.



Thanks

Thank you, that's great, I will use it

(are you testing every IMDB Rating Add-on? ;D)
(shall I implement the background running and periodic feature next?)

I am testing all, but I find this one is very quick and simple to use.

That would be great if you can implement those two features, this way I just have to set it and forget it.

New Version!

Thanks for this add-on. Really great. I hope you also add for TV Shows and have the option in settings to get ratings of TV episodes from imdb.

Thanks

I need to find out how I can add the parameters to the Contextmenu.

hm, i don't use this skin... I have no idea...
I will soon release the run periodically function. maybe this will make your context menu button unnecessary?

That will most certainly do the job.

Thanks for all the work on this add-on. Much appreciated.

Awesome! Thanks so much for this.

I turned on run periodically option and rebooted my machine. When XBMC started it prompted me that the update was starting. As soon as it started XBMC locked up and restarted.

I will try to replicate it again tomorrow and report back.
