Awesome work.  Thanks!  Is it possible to have the rotten tomatoes rating in the Kodiflix media flags use the same code if its in the nfo?  This way it wouldn' t have to wait for skinhelper.

@grimmace92

You're welcome! Sure...I can make that change.

What are the tags to store the rotten tomatoes and metacritic ratings stored in nfo file?

Much rather having them local than relying on skin helper.

Is there an easy way to scrape the ratings and store in nfo. I believe ember media manger may do this.

Thanks for any info.

Happy new year @latts9923

I'm sure not alone in saying would like to donate to you for all your great work.

Do you run your own server hosting the mod files to download. That would be costing you also.

We could all chip in for a big gift for your birthday

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how to get the Oscars to show on the dialogue page. Is there anything I can add to my NFO files? Thanks

Happy New Year!

Here's the rating tags for Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes...

<rating name="metacritic" max="10">
<value>5.6</value>
<votes>117</votes>
</rating>
<rating name="tomatometerallaudience" max="10">
<value>4.3</value>
<votes>36951</votes>
</rating>
<rating name="tomatometerallcritics" max="10">

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I use Hostmonster as my web host. If you or anyone else would like to make a donation, you can click the Youtube Channel link in my signature. I thank you in advance.

UPDATE #66

Additions

• I updated some of the labels in DialogVideoInfo.xml for Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritics when <votes> tags are missing in the NFO file.
  
  
• I added the option to display character art for movies in the Right List View. There is also a new button in the Top Menu to enable/disable the character art. Thanks to chrissix for the code.
  
  
  
  
• I added the option to disable the menu bar in Skin Settings. Thanks to Kupo91 for requesting the addition.
  

Bug fixes

• I fixed the "Animated Focus Surround" and "Remove Focus Surround" code for KodiFlix and KodiFlixTV. The Top Menu buttons for both were displaying for other views as well.
  

Maintenance

• I did a little housecleaning to some of the files.
  
• I moved the "CHANGE THE MENU BAR COLOUR" option in Skin Settings up with the rest of the menu bar options. I also added some code so that the option is only visible when the horizontal and vertical "MQ7 MENU BAR" or "NEON MENU BAR" is selected.

.nfo example for Matrix (1999)

No, extended ratings via kodi internal are only supported in the DialogVideoInfo (dialogvideoinfo.xml) and not on normal views.
On normal views only the main rating is supported. Only workaround to show extended ratings on normal views is with Skinhelper.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how to get the Oscars to show on the dialogue page. Is there anything I can add to my NFO files? Thanks

Oscars are working with the Skinhelper InfoLabel "SkinHelper.ListItem.Awards", but unfortunately there is no kodi internal InfoLabel for that and no way to read them from .nfo to kodi.

This are kodi internal InfoLabels:
https://kodi.wiki/view/InfoLabels
This are Skinhelper InfoLabels:
https://github.com/marcelveldt/script.sk...ideo-items

Sure you can show the Oscars on DialogVideoInfo with SkinHelper (only). You have to add little code in your dialogvideoinfo.xml
On my side Oscars in DialogVideoInfo is looking like this:

@chrissix 

Thanks for the info. So you can only use skin helper service to implement the Awards information in to Kodi?
This is the first time I've heard of the 'ListItem'... How do I go about implementing the relevant movie awards information using Skin Helper?

Thanks for your help!

I have no idea what you want to do

In this skin mod from @latts9923  Award information from Skinhelper is shown on bottom left in DialogVideoInfo, and graphical Oscars on top left in RightListView.

=12ptThat's just the issue I have...on the bottom left in DialogVideoInfo and in the top left in RightListView I cannot get the Oscars or the awards details to show.

I initially asked whether I need to have the awards information in the NFO file?... If I understand you correctly you say that skinhelper service enables MQ7 Multi-mod skin to show the awards info and Oscars however Kodi on it's own cannot as it doesn’t have the InfoLabels?

So where does skinhelper retrieve the awards information from? Do I put in the NFO file?

I use NFO files however I still cannot get awards to show even if I use Universal Movie scraper.

Thanks for your help!

[grimmace92]

It's one or the other.  He's telling you that the skin doesn't support awards via nfo so skin helper goes out to the internet to grab the info.  If skinhelper isn't working try closing kodi and then delete the simplecache.db.  Then start kodi and give it a little time and check if it works.

[mataus19]

Ok, so with SkinHelper installed and enabled it should automatically search the internet for the awards info etc.

I'll give what you suggested a go. Thanks!
