Hi there,
I am using the Sky Go addon (in Germany) and I am very happy with it. Only problem with it: Since the webside doesnt provide ratings for the movies, i keep looking up all the moviedb/imdb ratings in parallel and thinks this should be an easy task for some scrapper / code. Since I wanted to start coding for kodi and contribute to the community I was thinking about adding it myself and do a pull request afterwards…
I found out how to set the rating:
list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=item)
list_item.setInfo(‘video’, ‘rating’: ‘9.1’)
However, not all movies are rated 9.1 and therefore i need to get the corresponding value from moviedb/imdb or some other source before setting it. This works great with locale files (with scrappers), however I have not been able to find an easy way to get this generated by the Addon code… can someone help me and point to what is the easiest way to get the rating from moviedb/imdb? Title, Genre, Year are available – so this should not be an issue of providing enough info to find it on moviedb/imdb – I am just now sure how to get it scrapped/downloaded by the addon!
Thank you,
