I've tried these changes, but still have the USA ratings. Note also I have:
- Appearance / International / Region = Australian (24h)
- Skin Settings / SiLVO mod = Use colored icons and media flags is ON

In Movie information I still see the colored USA flags. Are there scrapper configuration changes I need to make ? If so which scrapper and what settings ?

It seems the issue of supporting non-USA ratings flags is a 2 part issue:

1. Media Flag Images Change - this should be 'easier' as it is providing the Australian ratings image files, and mapping the right image to the USA rating. This provides 'Australian' flags, but ratings may not be exactly correct. For example many movies are rated R in USA, but only MA+ in Australia. We have an R rating in Australia but not many movies have this rating.

2. Source of Data for actual Australian Ratings - as per above, we would need a data source that has the actual movie rating in Australia for a given movie, rather than just the USA rating. Then we need a scrapper that can scrape those Australian ratings. Then we need the Kodi Skin to be able to support reading the scrapper Australian ratings and display the Australian icons for them.

So this is a general problem that would apply for all non-USA countries eg. Canada ? Part 1 might be easy as it is aout just getting the images correct, but Part 2 is much harder as need to source correct country data, get it to scrapper, then into the skin.

Thoughts ?

The flags appear using this code:

Code:

        <value condition="SubString(ListItem.MPAA,Australia:G)">flags/mpaa/australia_G.png</value>
        <value condition="SubString(ListItem.MPAA,Australia:PG)">flags/mpaa/australia_PG.png</value>
        <value condition="SubString(ListItem.MPAA,Australia:M)">flags/mpaa/australia_M.png</value>
        <value condition="SubString(ListItem.MPAA,Australia:MA)">flags/mpaa/australia_MA.png</value>
        <value condition="SubString(ListItem.MPAA,Australia:R)">flags/mpaa/australia_R.png</value>

Which says the MPAA field of your library items need to contain Australia:X and X is the rating. You need to change the options in your preferred scraper to get the correct regional classification. You can also install library editor script to check the current MPAA field and change it to what you need it to be. If you have a metadata program that creates NFO's or something and it uses a different naming scheme let me know and I will add it to the VAR.
