    Importing ratings

    Reply Contact

    Anyone know how to get the ratings imported with Quickguide/Bladerunner? I'm thinking the RatingMapping.xml needs to be edited, but I don't know what it should look like.

     This is how it reads: 

    - <ratingmappings>
    <!--Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) Ratings - No System Specified --> f(clean);
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_AV" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_AO" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_C" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_G" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_G" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_G" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_P" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_PG13" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_PG" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_PG13" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_M" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_NC17" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_UNSPECIFIED_MA" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_NC17" />
    <!-- Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) Ratings --> f(clean);
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_AV" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_AO" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_C" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_G" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_G" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_G" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_P" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_PG13" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_PG" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_PG13" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_M" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_NC17" />
      <rm id="MSEPGR_ABA_MA" mapto="MSEPGR_MPAA_NC17" />
      </ratingmappings>

     Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Zebby

    My RatingMapping.xml looks the same as yours but I changed my programRatingAttributes.txt to the following:

    <programRatingAttributes xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_AO" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="AO" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_G" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="Family" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_NC17" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="R18" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_X" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="X-rated" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_NR" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="NR" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_PG" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="Parental Guidance" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_PG13" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="PG-13" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_MPAA_R" type="RATING_MOVIE" value="16" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_0S" type="RATING_STAR" value="0" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_1S" type="RATING_STAR" value="*" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_2S" type="RATING_STAR" value="**" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_3S" type="RATING_STAR" value="***" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_4S" type="RATING_STAR" value="****" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_0HS" type="RATING_STAR" value="+" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_1HS" type="RATING_STAR" value="*+" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_2HS" type="RATING_STAR" value="**+" />
     <rt id="MSEPGR_3HS" type="RATING_STAR" value="***+" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_ADULT" type="RATING_REASON" value="Adult Situations" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_BRIEFNUDITY" type="RATING_REASON" value="Brief Nudity" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_GRAPHICLANG" type="RATING_REASON" value="Graphic Language" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_GRAPHICVIOLENCE" type="RATING_REASON" value="Graphic Violence" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_LANGUAGE" type="RATING_REASON" value="Language" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_MILDVIOLENCE" type="RATING_REASON" value="Mild Violence" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_NUDITY" type="RATING_REASON" value="Nudity" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_RAPE" type="RATING_REASON" value="Rape" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_STRONGSEXUALCONTENT" type="RATING_REASON" value="Strong Sexual Content" />
     <rt id="MSEPGRR_US_VIOLENCE" type="RATING_REASON" value="Violence" />
    </programRatingAttributes>

    I then had to include the following in my TVxb.ini file:

    !Substitutions to adhere to MPAA ratings standards
    substitution=PG/13,PG13
    substitution=Rating:Family,Rating:G
    substitution=Rating:16,Rating:R
    substitution=Rating:All,Rating:G
    substitution=Rating:R18,Rating:NC17
    substitution=Rating:18,Rating:NC17

    Now I think this is kinda the long way of doing something that's actually really simple but it works for me and hence I'm just going to leave it as is.
