So I got this crazy idea to start with from the fact that my smartplaylists in kodi stopped working. My smartplaylist with requiring a rating greater than 4 show's no songs and my smart playlist requiring a mood of mellow and rating greater than 3 shows no songs. I also tried creating a new playlist requiring a rating greater than 1 with no luck.
Then I found this: http://kodi.wiki/view/Music_tagging
The kodi wiki clearly shows 16.1 read rating and mood tags while 17 does not.
My first result of a google search of kodi 17 doesn't read rating tag was this thread which from my first scan through the posts talks about a change to the way kodi is reading ratings and that the workaround was creating nfo files with ratings in it and trying to decode the way media monkey writes the rating to the tag and also the need for a script to transfer info from the tags to the nfo's to make it anywhere near feasible. Maybe I got the wrong idea from the thread, I'll have to re read it i guess.
In either case smart playlists are not working for me. Removing the rating and mood dependencies shows the entire library, but with either of those tag requirements the playlists fail.
