Show rating of movies in media flags!

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:
[Image: Se4d_Bg.jpg]

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:

Code:
            <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:
Code:
            <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 Smile

Vilification of TV ADDONS is Certainly Hurting Kodi

Sorry if it's not my place to say anything, but after reading a few threads about TV ADDONS here I've come to some conclusions of my own.

How does a new user find Kodi? They hear about it from their friends, word of mouth, etc.

Once they've heard about Kodi, how do they figure out how to configure the addons they heard about? Probably Google or YouTube.

YouTube is filled with people who are destroying the Kodi trademark, not TV ADDONS.

When you search “Kodi Addons” on Google, TV ADDONS is the ONLY site that doesn’t have “Kodi” in their domain name, and the ONLY site that has Unofficial clearly marked in the search result.

It seems that by calling TV ADDONS the villains, you are actually fragmenting the Kodi addon community outside of this site, and making it easier for people trying to profit from Kodi by selling paid IPTV, etc to succeed.

It might be worth looking into coming to some sort of "peace" with them. Everyone else is just trying to make a quick buck everywhere you look and hurting Kodi far worse by bringing criminal paid IPTV into the mix.

Dynamic Resolution switching

Hi Everyone! It is my understanding that Kodi currently does not support automatic resolution switching depending on the content. For example, if the Video is 1080p, then switch to that resolution, if 2160p, then switch to it. Is this correct? Or is t...

My posts aren’t showing up in a [solved thread]

Hi,

I searched the forum rules on the wiki but couldn't find info that you can't post to a thread that's marked [SOLVED] but NOT closed.
I wrote a lengthy post and I could see it after I posted it at the end of the thread, but as I went back to reread other pages in the thread my new post was gone.

Can't find it and my account only says I've posted 1 post like 6 years ago.

Feel really sad cause it was a lengthy answer, a suggestion to help others find the solution in the future and a BIG THANK YOU to the guy who helped me solve a problem I've had for months.

Here's the thread:

DLNA volume remote

Hi. I use Samsung galaxy s4 dedicated phone as a KODI KRYPTON multimedia center. It is connected to wifi and streams to other clients in the house.

I have also Pioneer A1 XW-SMA1-Kdlna speaker. Kodi is able to see this dlna client and send music to it. But I can´t control VOLUME on this client from KODI. When it starts to stream to PIoneer the volume is always at 100% - which causes a real shock Smile. This can be solved by editing some settings in KODI setting files so this is not problem but:

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONTROL DLNA CLIENT´S VOLUME FROM KODI?

Thank you.
