Ratings from IMDB, metacritic in NextPVR?

[virtualpaul]

Is there a way to see the TV/movie ratings from IMDB, metacritic or other sources in NextPVR?

Sorry no - not at this stage.

I wrote a utility that copied the genres and star ratings from imdb to the NextPVR database a long time ago https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...post408877 The actual utility was primarily for searching by genres and ratings searches in searchlite so you need to install the searchlite plugin to get it.

These star ratings are available via the news classic web server and there are hot links to imdb from the guide.

Thanks.

I am trying to download the datasets on the forum post (genres.list.gz & ratings.list.gz) but this is what I see on imdb: IMDb data files available for download, Documentation for these data files can be found on http://www.imdb.com/interfaces/ name.basics.tsv.gz title.akas.tsv.gz title.basics.tsv.gz title.crew.tsv.gz title.episode.tsv.gz title.principals.tsv.gz title.ratings.tsv.gz

It seems imdb stopped supporting this one year ago for now the archive still exists

ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/misc/movies/d...rozendata/

I only update yearly (tv movies are generally behind the releases) so I would have found this out soon. The new files have changed format considerably so it will take some work to fix it up.

Thanks! I could not find this folder 'DataDirectory\Plugins\SearchLite' on my installation. Should I put the data files where the searchlite.dll is located?

[mvallevand]

Yes. The data directory is the generic name for the folder most often in c:\users\public\npvr

Cool. It seems to work now. It will save me time searching the xml data in a text editor and on imdb...
Thanks again!
