imdb and tmdb rating labels



Can anybody confirm if they have ever used or are are using $INFO[ListItem.Rating(imdb)] and $INFO[ListItem.Rating(tmdb)] on their skin views?

The reason I’m asking is both Wiki and the Kodi Documentation state these can only be used on the DialogVideoInfo.xml only, but I recently tested these on a few of my skin views and saw that whilst tmdb rating is always displayed, the imdb rating is not always displayed even though the rating and id number do exist on the NFO file.

Additionally, I discovered on the titles where no imdb rating was shown, I could select the rating using the metadata editor and then the rating would be shown, but the moment I exited the skin view, started playback of the title or for that matter did anything else, the displayed rating would not be retained and would disappear.

I was curious if anybody has tried using these labels on their skin views and seen the same behaviour? It’s quite a mystery why the tmdb specific rating works on every title, but the imdb rating does not. I was actually quite surprised anything worked, given that these labels are only supposed to work on the DialogVideoInfo.xml file…. Confused

I’d really like to show both ratings on my skin views, but I don’t want to be manually selecting one of them, especially if that selection is not retained.
Any thoughts or feedback would much appreciated.
Cheers
