Hi there,

I came across this addon and would like to try it. However I have a few questions that didn't get asked here. Maybe someone knows the answers

1) Regarding a setup with multiple Media Center using a SQL Database. Is it correct that only one Machine ("Master") needs the addon installed and running as it writes to the Database and the others fetch it, or every machine needs it?
2) Compatible with every Skin? For example I'm using Aura which provides Movie Ratings through metadatautils. Can it cause any conflicts?
3) As far as I understand, the Option to change the standard rating works with every Skin and changes the Rating in the Library to the IMDB one?

Thanks!

Hi D-m-x, very interesting questions!

I'm starting to answer to the latter: yes, the option on default rating does exactly wath you said; if set to true, IMDb ratings will be the default ratings in the Kodi database so that the skins will show them. If you want to revert back to the previous default ratings (e.g. the ones from TMDB), you have to rescrape them trough the appropriate information provider or media manager.

About the two other questions I don't want provide wrong information since I didn't consider such use cases (my setup is a single mediacenter using the default Estuary skin). What I can suggest, if you have time and patience, is to make a couple of trials and report back here so that the other users can take advantage of that. This would be really appreciated!  

Thanks in advance! 

  
No, thank you for creating the Addon and answering

I tried it and if anyone else has the same questions I'm happy to report it works flawlessly. I installed the Addon on my Master Machine, the Ratings get updates and written to the Database. The other machines will pick it up instantly. So it works beatifully across the machines. There is also no problem with custom Skins, everything works just as it did before but better because the Ratings do change eventually.
