Title: IMDB rating
Post by: spartacus on August 31, 2012, 11:54:45 pm

Importing from TheMovieDB updates and overwrites my IMDB rating. What's up with that?

That's how it works. Like the IMDb plugin, it writes to [Rating] and there's no overwrite option to prevent it from doing so. About all you can do is run it followed by the IMDb plugin in a batch, so the IMDb rating is always the last to be written.

Well actually there are three rating fields a plugin/script can use: rating, imdbrating, orating
The last one is special because it is a custom rating field for the script.

I guess the TMDb plugin for some reason uses the imdbrating field!?
My version of the script (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,1030.msg15869.html#msg15869) uses the orating field and sets the rating name to TMDb.
I dont know if this has any implications but from my POV this is the right way and is actually a bug in the plugin.

I agree with GazonkFoo. Especially considering the TMDB plugin doesn't even have an IMDB field to disable in the options.
