Hello Everyone,
I was annoyed by the fact that there was no way to see the IMDB rating of a movie without having to order them by rating. I like to order my movies by title, but I also wan’t to see the IMDB rating. I saw this question popping by multiple times on this forum, so I started looking into the code. I found a solution to show the score like this:
As you can see in the bottom right corner, left to the quality, it now shows the rating of a movie! Unfortunately, I was unable to add the text “Rating” or what so ever.
Here’s what you have to do to get the rating if you have installed Kodi on a PC:
1. Open the includes.xml file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml\ or C:\Program Files\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml\ depending on your OS.
2. Edit this file with Notepad (or Notepad++)
3. Go to line 414 (just after this:
<include content="MediaFlag">
<param name="texture" value="$INFO[ListItem.AudioChannels,flags/audiochannel/,.png]" />
<param name="visible" value="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.AudioChannels)" />
</include>
<include content="MediaFlag">
<param name="texture" value="$INFO[ListItem.AudioCodec,flags/audiocodec/,.png]" />
<param name="visible" value="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.AudioCodec)" />
</include>
and insert the following code after that:
<control type="group">
<width>115</width>
<visible>!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Rating)</visible>
<control type="label">
<width>115</width>
<height>60</height>
<align>center</align>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Rating]</label>
<font>font_flag</font>
</control>
<include content="MediaFlag">
<param name="texture" value="flags/flag.png" />
</include>
</control>
Restart Kodi and this should do the trick!
It would be very nice if the developer(s) of the skin would add this option by default
