Following up with an issue relative to these posts about star ratings being displayed.
I can't quite recall when this began, but it was quite possibly around the same time as the aforementioned posts were made in this thread (knowing that it was a few months ago, at the very least). To describe in a bit more detail; the user star rating is not being displayed when switching to the fullscreen 'Now Playing' window (with the audio visualization). The rating is displayed in other views, and other levels of the library (artists, albums) but the stars that are meant to be highlighted above the seekbar/duration of the currently playing track are always dimmed no matter the rating given. I am able to rate the item by accessing through the OSD menu, as well as from list views via the information window, but changes are not reflected in the Now Playing view. I like being able to rate a song at that window quickly via PGUP / PGDWN without leaving, but am unable to do so without having those stars to view as reference. I manage my library (of all media types) myself and do not use online sources for scraping to identify the media and could really care less about online/3rd party ratings for music, so this is not an issue with scrapers but rather my own rating that is assigned being displayed. The ratings are being assigned by kodi into the database, as other views of the media will display it, in addition to library exports showing as well. (It should be worth noting that changing the option to display a numeric rating instead was not successful, however; I do prefer the star rating over a numeric one.
