Yes, core means Kodi "core". Currently Kodi core calculates everything back into a x.y rating structure and no support for %. (It would probably be possible to hack in 53 instead of 5.3, but official scrapers are not built on hacks).
Better to ask the skinning question (rating multiplication) in the skinning forum. I have no idea.

From which API does UMS scrape the multiple rotten tomatoes ratings at this time? Thanks.

All of a sudden UMS isn't scraping genres from IMDb.
It just failed for Solo and a few other movies.
Did IMDb do something to much this up?

I have a question about a possible sub-version of UMS. I use an old add-on called IMDB Update that, while now defunct, is still able to update the IMDb Top 250 ratings for your library. It can't update the IMDB rating though and has to be disabled the next time you re-start Kodi but for a once in a while update it's a nice feature to have to keep at the very least the Top 250 current.
How possible is it to utilize the already built UMS to do the same sort of thing, re-scrape just the IMDb Rating and Top 250 fields into your library (which can then be exported through a .nfo override) and possibly do the same for Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and TMDb ratings as well?

That's simply not possible with a scraper addon.

I don’t mean within UMS itself but it has to be possible, at least for IMDb Top 250, through a method similar to how the scraper works. No?
I don’t have enough programming understanding to look at the old IMDb update add on and see what might be edited to have it work fully and/or adjusted to the other ratings. Hence my question here. The old add on, the portion that works, is pretty helpful. With all the issues lately with UNS having to be tweaked to comply with changes made to the resources I wondered if the same tweaks couldn’t be applied to a version of the old add-on to create a new fully function one?
