Add MPAA image to movie info [Added to SVN]

xaos01 · 2009-12-02 03:14

I can't comment on the built in scraper because I use a custom perl script on my Mac to query IMDB to craft an NFO. My script does precisely what you mention; It falls back to certifications if it doesn't have mpaa info and populates the mpaa tag with that instead. If no information exists at all, I put 'NR'.

The rub is for 'PG' and 'PG-13'. It appears to me that IncludesCodecFlagging.xml uses 'Rated PG f' as a hook to determine that a movie is Rated PG; the '<space> f' presumably because for mpaa ratings, the rating is followed by the string 'for this reason and that reason' ie 'Rated PG for scariness and naughty words'. This breaks ratings if the rating was scraped from certifications instead of the mpaa field because certifications don't have a 'reason'. Its just 'PG'.

Any ideas how we could differentiate between PG and PG-13 effectively while still including ratings garnered from the certifications field if mpaa data does not exist?

Also. In version 1.0 of your mod, if I used 'Media Info 2' for my view, I got flags. With version 2.0, I get no flags when using 'Media Info 2'. The fanart view produces flags in both versions. I really dig the 'Media Info 2' view. Any hints on where to look/what changed to get flags back into 'Media Info 2' view?

Could use (Pseudocode)

Code:

PG and PG-13

For PG-13

Code:

PG and !PG-13

For PG

Thats a great idea! Unfortunately, I don't know the syntax or even what language is used to look it up. My attempt was to keep 'PG-13' as-is because that string won't ever appear in a 'PG' rating. For 'PG' my failed attempt was:

Code:

<visible>substring(listitem.mpaa,Rated PG) && !substring(listitem.mpaa,Rated PG-13)</visible>

Am I close?

Works like a champ!

For those that have need for this, heres the code.

Replace:

Code:

[font=Courier New]<control type="image">

    <description>Rated PG</description>

    <width>190</width>

    <height>103</height>

    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

    <texture>flags/mpaa_pg.png</texture>

    <visible>substring(listitem.mpaa,Rated PG f)</visible>

</control>[/font]

With:

Code:

[font=Courier New]<control type="image">

    <description>Rated PG</description>

    <width>190</width>

    <height>103</height>

    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

    <texture>flags/mpaa_pg.png</texture>

    <visible>substring(listitem.mpaa,Rated PG) + !substring(listitem.mpaa,Rated PG-13)</visible>

</control>[/font]

Glad it worked Smile

IMDb recently changed a few things in their coding. The scraper may need to be updated to reflect this.

I am having trouble getting this too work. The studio icons show up on about half the movies I have... didn't expect em to show up for all.

However, none of the movies have the rating show up. How should I fix this?

Also, is there a way I can add a lions gate images to the flags for lions gate movies? (and others eventually)

I'm also having the same problem. With three young kids in the house, it sure would be nice to have the MPAA rating displayed. Smile
