Looks good! I just noticed that with RC5 the commas are working again for the number of votes.
I just started using the nfo files, so I'm still learning the ropes on how the ratings work. Everyone else feel free to chime in if I explain this wrong or you have more to add.
1. The Movie Database scraper
2. Metadata and Artwork Module
3. Skin Helper Service
4. NFO filesNote: This works with Krypton but not with Leia. I am not getting IMDb ratings with Leia.

1. The Movie Database scraper
- Fetches metadata (ratings) from themoviedb.org.
- There is an option to add IMDb ratings with this Add-on. I'm not sure if this Add-on populates the IMDb rating info in the database after scraping the library. If it does, it does not seem to be working with Leia.
2. Metadata and Artwork Module
- I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I believe entering your TMDb API Key here is what allows The Movie Database scraper to fetch the TMDb ratings and images.
3. Skin Helper Service
- This Add-on will display rating info for IMDb, Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, and TMDb.
- I just noticed that the Skin Helper Service (v1.1.25) is not fetching IMDb rating info...only IMDb Top 250 rating info. Can anyone else confirm this?
4. NFO files
- After scraping your library with The Movie Database scraper, if you export your library it will include the "imdb" and "themoviedb" ratings in the NFO files. Example below...
Code:
<title>10,000 BC</title>
<originaltitle>10,000 BC</originaltitle>
<ratings>
<rating name="imdb" max="10">
<value>5.100000</value>
<votes>118667</votes>
</rating>
<rating name="themoviedb" max="10" default="true">
<value>5.200000</value>
<votes>1470</votes>
</rating>
</ratings>
- I know many use software like Media Companion to scrape their library and create the NFO files. I have never tried this so I will let those who have expound on this.
