incorrect movie ratings
#1
I just started using this skin. So far I like it. I noticed that many of my movie ratings are incorrect. When I view the movie information they are correct, but the main display has them wrong. For example, a kids movie Milo and Otis is rated G, but it is listed as NC17. I get the same problem if I use local movie information scrapped by media center master or If I have XBMC scrape for me. I'm getting my ratings from IMDB. All my incorrect ratings are listed as NC17. Can I fix these manually?

Thanks

I am having this display situation too.

Disney's 'The Fox & the Hound', for example, has the symbol for R18 (which is a porno symbol from UK)
If you look at the movie info the MPAA rating is G

PG's are OK.

All restricteds show as R18 - should be NC17

All PG-13 have the R12 symbol

All Rated approved (whatever that is) like 'Bambi' have R18

All blank rated have blank
TV-PG's are OK
Rated Not Rated is NR
TV-MA's OK
TV-14's OK

It seems the US MPAA ratings are not mapping to the UK symbols for G and Rated approved

Tried with other skins and does not occur, but they do not use the RED 12 symbol or the BLUE R18 symbol either

I managed to sort my problem by editing the following file in an xml editor:

C:\Users\compname\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.hybrid\720p\IncludesVariables.xml

Go to the following sections and move the MPAA ratings G & U line from the bottom of the section to under the PG line

<variable name="RatingMPAA">

<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa, PG )">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/pg</value>
<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa, G )">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/g</value>
<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa, U )">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/u</value>


<variable name="VideoPlayerMPAA">

<value condition="substring(VideoPlayer.mpaa, PG )">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/pg</value>
<value condition="substring(VideoPlayer.mpaa, G )">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/g</value>
<value condition="substring(VideoPlayer.mpaa, U )">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/u</value>

I also completely deleted the 0 MPAA line as there does not appear to be a 0.png

I also have ratings of Approved and Passed (old Disney movies), so I changed the G lines to:

<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa,G)|substring(listitem.mpaa,Approved)|substring(listitem.mpaa,Passed)">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/g</value>
<value condition="substring(VideoPlayer.mpaa,G)|substring(VideoPlayer.mpaa,Approved)|substring(VideoPlayer.mpaa,Passed)">$INFO[Skin.String(mpaacertificate)]/g</value>
