Man I don't know about anybody else, but this app seems to be getting more expanded by the day. All kinds of features and addons. Don't get me wrong, but I'm just seeing it grow daily and well. Its a lot.

I think the biggest issue with supporting more than one would be the skin returning double positive results, as it functions how I've done it when there are two results it shows both images overlayed and particularily in stark with transparent images they look like shit hence the need for some way to only return one result.
That said my coding skills are zero and I'm sure someone else could find a solution.

Tried it with WINE with .NET/Mono/And pretty much every dll override (winetricks) in existence and failed in a blaze of glory.
JiveTalker Wrote:Yeah, I thought that it would be nice to have MPAA, BBFC etc. but it would be a pain to try to figure out what the censorship board name is for all the different countries I guess. It would be much easier for fekker to apply logic along these lines:
1. store user prefered cert country in config (already done but not in gui yet)
2. look for certs that match that country (already done)
3. look at cert descriptions and assign priorities to them (not done yet, assuming each country only has a few different descriptions)
4. choose the cert with the highest priority description if more than one found
5. If no cert found then choose the USA cert for DVD release or cinema release if no DVD cert?
6. Prefix the selected cert with Country e.g USA-, UK- etc. with country exaclty as it appears on iMDB.
Good examples for testing are blockbusters like the Batman series and Terminator 2 which have lots of certs in each country due to multiple releases.

Keep in mind.. certification data is returned like

where mpaa comes back with rating and text
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and some menace.
I think certification is the better field to use
but it doesn't say why it's rated what it's rated
I think this needs two fields in xbmc
mpaa and certification
that way it could be displayed
Rated: (certification item)
For: (mpaa data)
digitalhigh Wrote:Doesn't even have to be the US rating...just ensure that there is always a supported string available...if that makes sense.
