I would like to ask a big favour for this topic that pops up every now and again.
As we all know, there are two ratings methods that can be displayed in Kodi, "Rating" and "My Rating". Technically, "Rating" displays external ratings fetched by scrapers and add-ons while "My Ratings" displays user ratings. Unfortunately, the video and music users have different preferences. The video user would preferably like to see "Ratings" while the music user would preferably like to see "My Ratings". At least music user are much more likely to rate their music and support for fetching ratings from third party sites is basic at best at the moment.
Now, the standard Estuary skin can only display one set of ratings and I think "Ratings" is even hard-coded. Some other skins at least let you switch between ratings sets to display.
What I would like to ask is, until those ratings sets one day can be set independently for videos and music, to "hack" them and reverse them for music... temporarily until separation and skin support are real (which may well never happen). By reversing I mean change "Ratings" to user ratings and "My Ratings" to third party ratings, for the music part. I understand that this is completely illogical but it would be a welcome practical solution to an ongoing conundrum.
Thanks for considering!
