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
