I've noticed the rating returned by these scripts is often one less than it should be. It seems the problem is the rating is obtained from the "alternative name" of the star image, but (for reasons I can't fathom) this is incorrect. You could get the correct rating directly from the star image file name. That's st_rN.gif, where N = 1 to 9, representing 1 to 5 stars in 1/2 star increments. In other words, the rating = N + 1.

nostra:
Are you sure that the rating in the image file is more precise (or correct) than the rating retrieved currently? It seemed vice versa to me...

Here's a small sample:

American Beauty: 4.5 stars - <img src="/img/st_r8.gif" alt="4.5 Stars"> - correct
The Bank Job: 3.5 stars - <img src="/img/st_r6.gif" alt="3 Stars"> - incorrect
A Beautiful Mind: 4 stars - <img src="/img/st_r7.gif" alt="4 Stars"> - correct
Bend It Like Beckham: 3.5 stars - <img src="/img/st_r6.gif" alt="3 Stars"> - incorrect
Beyond Borders: 2 stars - <img src="/img/st_r3.gif" alt="1.5 Stars"> - incorrect
Big Fish: 3.5 stars - <img src="/img/st_r6.gif" alt="3 Stars"> - incorrect

In judging which is correct, I'm siding with the image because that is what is visible. Do you know what the "alt" version is used for? I can't be certain which is "more precise," although it was a sense some ratings in PVD were too low that attracted my attention.

nostra:
The script is updated according to the new design of the site. There still some problems thou, but it should be ok until I find time to finish the script.
