arrgh... This should be titled: If you are using Home Theater MEGA Pack and Ratings and Audio videos are not playing
First Big ups to Nuka! Second - almost a big ups to McCorkle (sp?)
How to fix the above problem?
1. Rename the Audio (Dolby, DTS, and Other) folder to just Audio.
2. Select this "Audio" folder in the script settings for the Dolby, etc folder.
This should get your Audio trailers playing at a bare minimum.
It also may get your ratings videos playing as well - I know it should have nothing to do with it, but my system was 'choking' on the Audio folder - and then skipping directly to the movie, bypassing Audio and Ratings detection entirely. Renamed the Audio folder and it began working immediately.
For some reason, XBMC see the folder name as "C:\Home Theater MegaPack 1.0\Audio ( "
If ratings still do not work, then open Media Companion (google XBMC media companion, available in the Announcements forum), and look at the "Cert:" field on the right-hand side of the movie's detail page.
It should say something like, "Rated R for strong violence and..."
Then, confirm your ratings videos are named :" Rated G.avi", "Rated NC-17.avi", etc.
Finally, open the .nfo file of your movie by right-clicking, and opening with notepad.
Find <mpaa>Rated PG-13 on appeal for crude sexual humor and drug references.</mpaa>
To conclude - to get the ratings videos to work you need the following:
1. Rating videos are named "Rated G.avi" (etc).
2. Your movie .nfo file must contain the <mpaa> </mpaa> rating. (You can also check to see if the rating is being picked up in XBMC by being in library mode and looking at one video.
3. If using McCorkle's awesome pack (thank you!), rename the audio folder to just "Audio".
Hope this helps!
