This addon updates the ratings of your movies and the Top250 position from IMDb.

Inspired by this 2 add-ons: Rating Update and IMDb Ratings for Movies

Download:
script.imdbupdate-0.8.10.zip

Attention:
the script gets the ratings from http://omdbapi.com which are only updated once a week, so the votes can differ sometimes.

Bug reports and feature requests are very appreciated.

Features:

• update the movie rating and vote count (only if something changed)
  
• update the IMDB Top250 movies
  
• update the MPAA rating for movies (US / DE)
  
• write missing Top250 movies to the addon_data folder
  
• update only movies with more than 0.1% vote increase (much faster)
  
• run in background
  
• run periodically
  
• start parameters for skinners (see below)
  
• resume movie rating update if it was cancelled
  
• simple GUI to select what should be updated
  
• progress bar
  

For Skinners:
Create a button with the function:
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, movies [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, top250 [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, mpaa [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, movies|top250|mpaa [,hidden] ) or
RunScript( script.imdbupdate, all [,hidden] )

This add-on seems to work great!

I made a temp icon for myself and thought I would share it.



Thanks

Thank you, that's great, I will use it

(are you testing every IMDB Rating Add-on? ;D)
(shall I implement the background running and periodic feature next?)

[shedrock]

I am testing all, but I find this one is very quick and simple to use.

That would be great if you can implement those two features, this way I just have to set it and forget it.

[Jandalf]

Thanks for this add-on. Really great. I hope you also add for TV Shows and have the option in settings to get ratings of TV episodes from imdb.

Thanks

[shedrock]

I need to find out how I can add the parameters to the Contextmenu.

I need to find out how I can add the parameters to the Contextmenu.

which skin do you use?

[SNA0815]

Great Addon! Works perfect! Thank you!

[shedrock]

I use the Rapier skin.

[Jandalf]

I use the Rapier skin.

hm, i don't use this skin... I have no idea...
I will soon release the run periodically function. maybe this will make your context menu button unnecessary?

[shedrock]

That will most certainly do the job.

Thanks for all the work on this add-on. Much appreciated.

script.imdbupdate-0.4.1.zip

[shedrock]

Awesome! Thanks so much for this.

[shedrock]

I turned on run periodically option and rebooted my machine. When XBMC started it prompted me that the update was starting. As soon as it started XBMC locked up and restarted.

I will try to replicate it again tomorrow and report back.
