Solved UK Ratings with Confluence
#1
Question 
Hi Guys,

Can you advise what I need to do to get the UK BBFC certifications to show in Confluence?

My system is running Ubuntu 11.10 - XBMCbuntu (Eden).


I understand from some research that this is achieved via the skin and the scraper. I am currently using the the tmdb scraper, with confluence.

In the scraper settings I have changed the ratings setting to gb and if I pull up the movie info page it shows in the txt field that it has for example picked up the rating as 12, however the BBFC 12 certificate badge doesnt show.

I believe this is because in the directory for the ratings images in confluence (/usr/share/xbmc/skin.confluence/media/flagging/ratings) the only files are:

mpaa_restricted.png
mpaa_pg13.png
mpaa_pg.png
mpaa_notrated.png
mpaa_nc17.png
mpaa_general.png

Can I just add the correct image files? If so what firmat should they be named as?

Thanks to the pointer above from mad-max, I have now got this working. Here is how I did it for anyone else who wants to do it:


1. Download the BBFC logos from mad-maxs' github: https://github.com/mad-max/skin.moddedco...ng/ratings

2. Download the IncludesCodecFlagging.xml file from mad-maxs' github: https://github.com/mad-max/skin.moddedco...agging.xml

3. Upload the logos to: ../addons/skin.conflence/media/flagging/ratings (easiest to do this using WinSCP, you may have to chmod the directory to make it writeable)

4. Navigate to ../addons/skin.confluence/720p and rename file IncludesCodecFlagging.xml to IncludesCodecFlagging.xml.bak (again you may need to chmod the directory first)

5. Upload the new IncludesCodecFlagging.xml file from the Github to ../addons/skin.confluence/720p

6. Next, in XBMC download and install the 'Universal Scraper'.

7. Edit your movie source and change the scraper to be 'Universal Scraper'

8. next change the scraper settings and change the ratings country preference to UK

9. Change the ratings prefix to be UK: - make sure there is no spaces between UK and :

10. Make any other changes you want in the scraper, then exit settings and select OK to save the Scraper changes.

11. When the scraper asks if you want to refresh the data, select yes. (note you will see this clean the database, dont worry as it will retain the watched flags.)

12. Once the refresh of the data is complete, reboot XBMC to reload the skin template.

Can this be used with confluence in Frodo?

Well I went ahead and tested it and all seems fine.

mad-max, if there are any issues you know of I would appreciate if you could let me know. Thanks.

Hi,

Is there any way to get the UK movie classifications incorporated into the main confluence branch? So it would be simply a case of setting the scraper to "UK:" and the correct UK classification images would appear.

Kind regards

Will this Mod still work in frodo 12.3? I read on a different thread that there were changes since eden which make this mod obsolete and I'm having difficulty getting this to work in frodo 12.3

Could some kind soul please inform as to the best method of getting UK BBFC ratings working in confluence modified with Frodo 12.3?

many thanks

I am trying to do this on a Raspberry Pi running openelec.

Is the .../addons you refer to /usr/share/xbmc/addons?

I failed at 3. - I just get Read Only Filesystem

Any chance someone is interested in submitting a PR to Kodi mainline for this?
