Hi @melons2
Sorry I'm only coming back to you now, just a bit busy.
I will try & help you & what has worked for me. If anyone think there's some flaws in my methods,
or I have missed something, please let me know. Ok, we are going to take this step by step.
Step 1:
You will have to get an OMDb API key (OMDb Link).
In order for you to get the key, you will have to become a Patron for $1,00 a month. You can do that on the link I provided.
After you signed up, they will e-mail the key to you.
Step 2:
Next, I use a media manager called Media Companion (Media Companion Link), to scrape all my movies.
The reason I use it, is because apart from scraping all the movie info & all the artwork, it can scrape the Rotten Tomatoes
ratings that you see in the video info page. You will need to insert the OMDb key that you got earlier in the settings of the
program in order for it to scrape it. I must warn you it can be a bit daunting to get all the settings right, so take your time with this.
Go through all the settings in the program & configure them as best you can. Took me some time to get it right, but it's worth it in the end.
Step 3:
After you updated the movie to Kodi, delete simplecache.db file (located at Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.module.simplecache) & let it rebuild in Kodi.
It can take a few minutes or well over an hour/s depending on how large your library is.
Now sit back & enjoy the fruits of your labour. The release dates & box office info should be there now & the Rotten Tomatoes icons should display correctly now.
I hope this helped you out my friend. I had a lot of help on this forum so if I can help I'm glad to.
Please let us know if you came right.
