Number of votes is integer (in Serbia we call them "Whole numbers" - 1, 2, 3...), so don't define it as Real number (12.46, 138.69, etc), just Number. Maybe my configuration will help you. Please check images attached. Notice that you have to link IMDb plugin with Votes custom made field.

Unfortunately, you'll have to update online (not to rescan) all movies in order to get votes, or any other online data you didn't have. Otherwise, how would be possible?

Yes. It has to be added to the skin.


--- Quote ---Under Preferences\Movies\Visible Items, there is no check box for 'custom fields'. Should there be?
--- End quote ---

No. Visibility/existence is determined by Custom items. To actually see a field, of course, it has to be in the skin.


--- Quote ---For IMDB Configuration 'Download full plot' was not selected does this have anything to do with Movie Description because it sounds like it?
--- End quote ---

Look at a IMDb page for a movie. It refers to Description as "Plot," which is a very short plot description. It includes a link to "Full Summary," which is a page of multiple, longer, user-contributed descriptions. The plugin can be configured to use one or all of these.

Thank you buah,

How to "update online" (not to rescan)? Nevermind about this. I figured it out.  Just select all movies on the left then use the Toolbar icon to get IMDB info. again.

Before proceeding, for the plugins preferences I decided to select both Silent mode for all plugins and Download all available images.
I made a backup of my database just in case.  I did a rescan of all the directories.  A lot of movies were found to have changed file path, ok and some were new, again ok.
No interaction was required, but for each and every new movie the data was downloaded for, Not 1, has an image attached to it.  Do you know why?

Below is the way Votes are displayed after downloading (it looks to blah):


But I'd much rather it would be displayed as below when using both PVD Classic and PVD Classic Tabs for the Movie Info. Skins :

(this is just an edited image, not due to reworking the XML files)

Do you know I might be able to make changes to .xml of the skin to get the above?

Thank you rick.ca for clarification on some things.

Leogets,

I would also like to have IMDb votes near IMDb rating, but unfortunately I'm not good at all with xml editing, and I'm not sure if it's possible to get it there. One day, sure I'll make some skins, but not in a months.

Glad you made it.

At this moment, I can only guess that you didn't choose to overwrite Poster field. Any field's checkbox background that you want to overwrite needs to be white, and not grayed.
