vbat99,

Once you are done redoing votes and ratings for tvshows, will we be able to scrape all the ratings available for movies + tvdb if they are available?

Thanks

So, for Movies in Batch Rescrape Wizard you'll have the options of
TMDb ratings/Votes
IMDb ratings/votes
metascore
RottenTomato via OMDBApi.

TV batch rescrape options are
Ratings (from TVDb if series root folder is source TVDB, or TMDB if source is TMDB. But not both)
Ratings IMDb
Ratings RottenTomato via OMDBApi.

NOTE: to get RottenTomato, users must have their own OMDB Api Key. This allows a user to get 1000 api calls a day for Free, or if they donate, a lot higher.

Thanks for taking the time to explain your plans.

A question on tvshows, is there a possibility to scrape from tmdb and obtain tvdb ratings from omdbapi and store them the same way you currently do rotten tomatoes?

We can't get TVDB ratings from OMDBApi, only IMDB data, Metascore and rottentomato.

I'm having a think on how and if its possible (without causing long pauses during scraping) to get all the ratings, TMDb and TVDb.
See what I can do....

Concerning the "D" test build I noticed that with some variations of TV Show ratings and votes re/scraping the "default ="true">" is not there in .nfo.
Kodi takes the first rating in .nfo in this case.
I know the ratings and votes are currently getting a new nice remastering, i mention it purely for information.

[bobrap]

Pardon my ignorance, but, what exactly is a "D" test build?

[vbat99]

It was a test build I did for Chris to test some changes were working, not for public consumption ...lol

New Release.
Media Companion 3.719b

A lot of work has been going on to get as much rating information into the nfo's as possible.
Specifically, the use of OMDBApi to retrieve the Rotten Tomato Audience and Critic ratings.
To enable Rotten Tomato retrieval, users of Media Companion will need to obtain their own OMDbAPI Key. Why you ask. Well, OMDBApi key has limitation if you have the free key (1000 api calls daily), else users can pay for more api calls depending on their requirements. See http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx for more details (follow **Become a Patron** for extra options)

Also, much more work has been completed on fanart.tv artwork, naming of this artwork, and retrieval of images for Movies and also Movie Collections.
I have added a field that users can add their own client Key from Fanart.TV. Again, why? you ask?? Fanart.TV has a Project key (already installed in Media Companion), and allows for Client keys (or user keys). If both are used, then Fanart.Tv offers earlier access to newer images. This is best explained on their blog at https://fanart.tv/2015/01/personal-api-keys/

Collection artwork has had an overhaul, with options to save to a Central Folder, Central Folder with Collection sub-folder, and also naming as <moviesetname>-arttype.
Collection artwork present is now shown in the ExtraArtwork listbox.....as well as the presence of Animated poster or Animated fanart images.

Animated Poster or Fanart needs to be named as <moviename>-animatedposter.gif etc, or <moviesetname>-animatedfanart.gif for Media Companion to identify they are present.
At this time, there is no scraper for Animated artwork, but this is being worked. See the Kodi forum thread for more details. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=215727

So, as usual with this amount of changes, there is the chance of bugs. Please, post up ASAP if you find any with instructions on how to duplicate.

Enjoy!

• MC - Personal Fanart.TV Key entry on Preferences->Common tab.

Revision History

[Edworld]

WOW WOW WOW

You did a lot of upgrades, let the testing begin!

[Edworld]

vbat99,

I ran the tv batch scraper for all ratings and none of them include the word default in the nfo. My preference would be imdb to follow the same preferences I have for movies.

edit: deleted the tvshow nfo and rescraped and it scraped all the ratings and imdb is default.... perfect

[vbat99]

I'd like to reproduce so I can fix that in the next release.
You were on 3.718 before?

vbatt99,

The omdbapi box on common settings has three options:

1) for ratings - if selected, will scrape imdb and rotten tomatoes ratings? I don't have this selected...not sure what the impact is
2) if selected, will scrape imdb id from omdb. I don't have this selected, but my nfo's have the imdb id.
3) rotten tomato data... all it does is scrape ratings? I do have this selected and I assume it scrapes rotten ratings and votes

Thanks


edit: tmdb is my movie scraper

It would be great if you could join the ticket, then we can gather everything regarding rating and votes.

I should make that clearer.
1. Ratings for Movies via omdb - gets IMDb Ratings only
2. If using IMDB scraper and this option, will get IMDBId from OMDBApi instead of convoluted method currently used.
3. Rotten Tomato data for Movies from OMDBApi.

I really need to clarify and probably move some of those options over to the Movie Preferences tab. At one time I thought to have it centralized with the API key entry, eg select RT data and would get for Movies and TV series/episodes.

Oh well, little bit more work to be done.....LOL
