[DEPRECATED]Rotten Tomatoes ratings scraper

This is a nice plugin. Would it be possible to have the "Audience" rating option, too? Personally, I value the RottenTomato's audience ratings more than the critics' ratings.

Hi Pete

I did contemplate this, but the option to use IMDb ratings is within the scraper. Isn't this the same data as what you are asking but with a bigger sample?

Hmm... depending on the particular movie, there is often a sizable difference between the two. Take "MacGruber" for example. IMDB gave it 5.4 while RT audience gave it 3.4 (34%).

I've grown accustomed to deciding what I want to watch based on RT audience ratings. But maybe I'm the only one.

It'd be really cool if the scraper could pull and display both RT critics and RT audience ratings side by side, but now I'm probably just pushing it.

Agree with that.
Would like to see that feature too (or at least the option to choose the audience ratings as the primary)

Been a while coming (I've had an extremely busy month In-Real-Life) but I've eventually got around to updating the addon with the Team XBMC changes to the IMDb scraper. Meaning now there is the ability to link directly to a YouTube trailer.

I'll look into adding Audience rating scraping from the RottenTomatoes website when I get the time, though I'm not wholly convinced that it offers anymore meaningful information than the IMDb user score (General audience rating with a greater sample size = more representative score)

moments ago - right after youtube was pushed to 2.8.0 this got marked as broken..
maybe there's no connection but anyway

Over the weekend I updated with Team XMBC's scraper changes as IMDb changed their website and genre, country, director and writer weren't scraping properly. They should all be working now.

Do you still get this issue? Are you sure you are using IMDb+RT?

Hi,

First off, awesome scraper, thanks for all the work. I have set the options to scrape UK ratings, if I log in to the database it is grabbing UK rating however, I am using Aeon Nox and it requires them to be stored in the database as UKG (for example). If I manually change the entry to include the 'UK:' then it works, without doing this it displays 'NR'. My questions, one is this a known problem and two is there a work around (other than making local changes to the add-on code)

Andy

If I understand correctly, as of Eden, the basic IMDb scraper automatically does movie sets. Is that on the horizon for this scraper as well?

I hope so. I'd love to have that feature, but I find the RT scraping so fantastically preferable, that there's no way I'd ever switch back.

I'll see what I can rustle up. Personally I just want the UK rating without anything else as the skin I use just displays the text value. As this is set by skin-authors on an adhoc basis (and there really isn't a consensus that I know about) everybody wants something different.

I'm thinking an option where you can specify a string to prepend to the rating data scrapped from IMDb would be the best solution.

I'm pretty sure this is only available in TheMovieDB scraper...I'll have a look if I can get this data out.
