I don't need to update ratings on a weekly schedule, just once in a blue moon since I can't find the old IMDb updater I used.
Cheers!
Just click on the add-on icon...as for all the other add-ons! 
That just brings up the information screen which does not have a run function. The settings only allow to schedule a timed update. There is still no option to manually run the update. It is greyed out.
This sounds really weird...what you mentioned is what should happen when you select "information" from the context menu of the add-on (means you right click on the add-on icon). I'm 100% sure that if you left-click on the add-on icon under the Add-on menu in the Home screen, it works.
Let me know.

I navigate to Settings / Add-ons / My Add-ons / All / Light IMDB and left click. It brings up the add-on settings where I can Configure, Update, Uninstall, Disable/Enable, and set Auto Update.
Both Preview and Run or greyed out.
If I right-click I get a dialogue pop-up that gives the options for Information, Disable, Settings and Add to Favourites.
This happens in my custom skin and the default skin.

I read that post. This add-on does not show up under Program Add-ons in my custom skin or in either location noted in the default skin.
I ran this add-on after quite some time (scheduled run is disabled) and noticed that none of the entries in my library update on screen. It works through everything and finishes successfully but the ratings are the same as before. I cross-checked with IMDB to confirm.
Did anyone else encounter this before? Even deleting and re-adding the IMDB ID doesn't seem to affect it.
According to the
log there is an issue accessing IMDB site.
Thanks @
Karellen, I should’ve read the last few pages. My bad.
I saw the scraper updates come through but didn’t think to (manually) update Light IMDB to 3.5.4
All working now. Cheers.
Hello, I am a new user who found this plugin. I am happy about it, thanks for it!
But after running it it says errors occured. This is the log:

Basically a bunch of errors like this:

@

That does not look like errors from the addon.
Can you post the full log thanks, and ensure it captures an Update Library or a scrape of a movie or tv show.
Thanks for fast reply. The full log was included in the post (contains only the IMDB update though):
https://pastebin.com/Ri7wj394
I am using a MariaDB server as database and I could not reproduce the problem on my main player connected to the TV. So you could consider it solved.
Regarding the problem: the log was from my regular PC (it only happens there). Maybe the error happened cause my PC is using the MariaDB but it has no configured sources itself. So maybe it is a problem that it iterates over the database but cannot access the actual data since it has not sources?

Hi @
devkid , as said by @
Karellen , the error does not refer to this add-on, therefore I would suggest you to find the proper thread where you can submit your issue to the developers...I honestly even don't know what a MariaDB is...
Hi,
I just started using this addon and have some questions.
I installed version 4.2.2 So far I can't find a way to manually trigger the update for all movies or tv shows.
The only way i can start it is by setting the schedule so it starts by itself.
I have found the option to trigger an update for an individual movie or tv show in the context menu.
After it ran all items have IMDB ratings which is good
Now if a tv show or movie gets added to the library, will this addon automatically get the IMDB rating? or will i have to trigger the addon myself every time new items get added to KODI?

Hi @
CK77 , thanks for your post!
Ok, for a manual run you just need to go in the Add-on menu in the Home page of your skin and left click (or press Enter) on the icon of Light IMDb Ratings Update; if you right click, a context menu will open in which you can choose between information, settings or add to favorite (I don't remember if I have missed something here...).
To have already the IMDb ratings updated when you add a movie or a TV show to the Kodi video library, you should rely upon the scraper used to retrieve the information; TheMovieDatabase scrapers for movies and TV shows have a setting to do that.
Have a great evening!
Alex
