Hi all
So I did some homework last few weeks and have played with several different methods, none of which really produced satisfactory results, to get 'dual' ratings from IMDB and RT
What I understand is that KODI, for whatever reason, only allows one set of ratings in its database
There appear to be some attempts in recent years to integrate "dual" ratings (two separate scrapers) results into Library (Movies, specifically), but the skins that do this seem to be discontinued, and even when using older versions of the program (XBMC, Helix) the skin support is pretty rugged
Ive looked into using external scrapers, (third party, not scripts in KODI) but, again, one ratings field in KODI database and in most skins, makes this kind of hard to do from what I have seen.
So here's the thing;
I am still very keen to make this work somehow.
I wondered about tacking a number onto the end of one of the standard fields, and using that do display a number? - not sure how to go about this though
IMDB has its limitations. RT also has limitations. IMHO the most meaningful way to get a rating for a movie is to use critics and popular concensus together.
Anyone, is there a way to do this?
Working SKIN solution?
Back end solution?
Script?
Third party app?
Hack?
Thanks for any ideas
Jim
