i just noticed that moviedb scraper (default) uses it's own rating since some time (before it was imdb rating). now my movie's ratings are mixed ->bad.
i changed the scrapers setting to use imdb rating but how to update all "wrong" entries?
i don't want to rebuild the data base because many titles were not recognized automatically - i had to add the manually. Is there a way to update entries in database?

Pick up the add-on IMDb Rating, configure it... and click, It should update all your ratings as per IMdb ratings in short order... well time of day, bandwidth etc aside.

it is not working.
imdb add on is already installed and activated.
if i update the info for a film i get imdb rating. but i need this for all films (at least all with moviedb rating). So is there a way to update rating/info of all films?

I have a script that currently only handles themoviedb.org ratings.
Working on adding IMDB too.

thx for info
so at the moment there is no way to just update the db?! probably it would be nice to not only update the rating but all attributes (except the title ;-)) - there are other settings in scraper/add ons that change attributes of movies (rating, posters trailers...).
So a nice feature would be "update all video entries" - it tooks the current setting and updates all entries?!
