Yes please.

On a side note, any chance you can grab the review consensus from RT and stick it in a field somewhere? For your example movie Spirited Away this would be "Hayao Miyazaki's dazzling, enchanting Spirited Away takes viewers, young and old alike, through the looking glass" perhaps outline would be a good candidate?

I also think the RT synopsis is better than the imdb plot most of the time... any chance you can have an option to use that too ? Smile

Been wanting something exactly like this for quite some time...

All my movies have a movie.nfo with a full IMDB scrape. Is there a way for me to have this scraper only update all the IMDB ratings to RT ratings?

If i rescan my whole library, will it just load the nfos or only take what it needs from the nfo and get the rating from RT?

Updating only the rating is not possible.

Mortstar, would you be able to adapt your scraper into an addon like this one : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=92132 ?

It updates only the IMDB ratings. If the same could be done for Rotten Tomatoes, it would be simply amazing...

When I saw the request I went looking for that as I had seen it knocking about on the forum. Unfortunately that script only works on Linux and I only have OS X and Win 7. Even if I could bodge it together to grab Rotten Tomatoes ratings instead it would be better if that script worked cross-platform. I have no idea how to make that possible.

It may be worth posting in that topic to see if you can enthuse the author to make it work cross platform.

EDIT: I've just taken a quick look at the script and it doesn't actually call scraper functions, it performs all the scraping within the script. This script would need a hefty rewrite to do what we want. I'd imagine that a script could be developed that uses your selected scraper (and scraper options) to update a selected field - but that is way beyond my abilities.

Frist off, Thank you kind sir, Secondly, Just reporting in that this works great...with a few exceptions

Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Hero
EuroTrip

Those movies will not display a rating, all other movies work correctly (correct RT ratings)

Ratings on those movies are correct with just IMDB

Using IMDB+RT on default settings

Anyways thought i would let you know, if you need more info let me know
