I have had it working before using Universal Scraper however it doesn't scrape other things correctly.
Is there are way to scrape the 'Critic Consensus' from RT? I have input my OMDB API so I am already scraping the RT Ratings using MC. The 'Critic Consensus' needs to be in the 'Outline' section of the movie NFO.
A little misunderstanding for new members:
CriticsConensus is a SkinHelper List.Item. Skinhelper data can not be included in the Kodi DB and thus useless put it into the .nfo.
This are kodi Interal List.Items, can be read into kodi db, and can be read from scrapers (and .nfo's):
https://kodi.wiki/view/InfoLabels#ListItem
This are SkinHelper List.Items, bypassed data in real time from internet over OMDB api. No storaging possible, every data you got is only cached for some days in simplechache.db.

However, the critics concensus data has also been dead for a long time. The data set was deactivated in the OMDB api (for whatever reason).
@latts9923 , the creator of the mod you mean, simply replaced the data field with PlotOutline, but did not renamed the label.
What you want would be in my opinion a misuse of PlotOutline. (only my opinion)
Even though @vbat99 would want to implement it, the CriticsConensus data via the API is dead.
The data is still there on RottenTomatoes website, yes. But not longer aviable via API access.
The only option left to you is a manual paste/copy from the website into MC Plot Outline field. I pray for you if you do that, then you'll never unintentionally press the rescrape button for it *gg*

Media Companion scraping the MPAA data as well as the spelling just as it stands in the databases where the data comes from and does not manipulate it.
The skin should be able to interpret the data correctly and not vice versa. The easiest way is to add in the IncludesVariables.xml a few lines of code about the desired spellings to interpret.
Alternatively, in Media Companion, in the TableView -> select column to view -> certificate -> sort. ... with not too much effort to make a bulk rename.
I have looked in the Skin codes the ratings flags of british BBFC a little closer and had to realize that it was a bit sloppy implemented. (Probably not as important as the skin has its origins in Brazil)
Leave a thumb up if i could help, greetins.
You say the critics consensus data has been dead for a long time?... however, I am getting it to scrape via 'Universal Movie Scraper' once I enter my OMDB API. I've also proven the critics consensus matches exactly what is detailed on the Rotten Tomatoes website.
Also when I export the video library to xml using Kodi it writes the critics consensus to the NFO in the 'outline' section. Please see NFO link below:

Please see screenshots below…Cheers!
