If it matters, the video library gets the movies from Samba folder. It's just does not want to work. Could you please tell me which version of the beta repo skin helper do you install? It says 1.1.24 and the default is 1.1.30 if I remember correctly. Should I also update all other dependencies from the same beta repo?
Yes, you need to update all dependencies to their highest version. Clearly you need to update the dependencies from the beta repo, otherwise it wouldn't be a step in the instructions! In particular, you need to be using the latest versions of metadatautils and simplecache, as these are core dependencies of skinhelper which actually provide the ratings (metadatautils) and cache them (simplecache).
SkinHelper in kodi repo is only 1.1.3 - the beta version is a much higher version at 1.1.24 (there is no 1.1.30 version - the highest version is the beta 1.1.24).
Simplecache should be 1.1.17
Metadatautils should be 1.0.19

I've already covered this point multiple times before:
1. You can't get scraped ratings outside the info dialog.
2. It is confusing if the skin switches between using online ratings from skin helper and scraped ratings when switching from library views to info dialog as the ratings often change between when they were scraped and the present.
3. Using code which falls-back to scraped ratings only if no online ratings are available causes the skin to crash
