Link to beta repo: https://github.com/marcelveldt/repository.marcelveldt/raw/master/repository.marcelveldt/repository.marcelveldt-1.0.1.zip

Then in Horizon, go to Skin Settings > Manage Dependencies.
Look for script.module.metadatautils and click on it.
This will open the settings for skin helper's meta data module.
Go to the API section of the settings and add your api key.

I am just wondering the reason why not using the ratings from Kodi Db?

1. When I first made the skin, OMDB api key was not necessary for the ratings. All that was needed was skin helper, which was already a skin dependency so it auto-installed. This is about as simple as it gets as it worked straight out of the box without any configuration.
   
2. Using skin helper means that you get (relatively) up-to-date ratings because it refreshes its cache after a week, so no need to re-scrape ratings (which many users don't even know how to do). Ratings can change a lot after release, as can the top 250 position.
   
3. Skin helper works with content from plugins.
   
4. Afaik, themoviedb.org is the default scraper (unless it has changed recently?). So you would still need to install additional dependencies and configure the scraper. Plus you need to obtain an omdb api key and enter it in the settings either way.
   
5. I personally had no idea that UMS could get these ratings.
   
6. I can't see any README or other documentation any where in UMS about how to implement these scraped ratings. I'm looking now, as I will implement it, but I cannot find any readily accessible information about what property the ratings are saved as in the db. EDIT: Okay thought I had it - using ListItem.Rating(metacritic) - but that doesn't seem to work, just get all the same ratings as default. EDIT2: Seems I have to use ListItem.Ratings(metacritic). However, this appears to only work in the info dialog, which isn't much use to me as I display the ratings in the library.

Can you point me to the wiki page please.

I tested ListItem.Ratings() with "metacritic", "rottentomatoes", "themoviedb", and "imdb"
ListItem.Ratings(imdb) worked correctly both inside and outside info dialog.
All of the rest only worked inside the info dialog. Oddly, outside the info dialog they display "0.0" rather than simply an empty string.
