Add RATINGS FILTER parameter

[spqr1]

Would be nice to be able to retrieve items and filter from genre based on max ratings.

• Rated G: General audiences – All ages admitted
• Rated PG: Parental guidance suggested – Some material may not be suitable for children.
• Rated PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned – Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
• Rated R: Restricted – Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
• Rated NC-17: No one 17 and under admitted.

Filter would be able to retrieve up to (if any) max rating entered.

Use case:

Retrieve all animation with a rating no higher than PG-13

Default is all with the exception of the PORN flag that you already have.

Rating are currently not part of the database layout.

While it would certainly be easy to add a ratings field, it is completely impractical to filter movies by such a field. Ratings are nationally regulated, so G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17 are only available for US (and maybe CA) movies. Other movies will be rated by German, French, Spanish (...) rating schemes which are completely different. Also, TMDB's ratings are often missing or even wrong, especially for non-US movies. Lastly not even the legal age can be used as a common factor (e.g. Germany 18, US 21).

The only rating this script will see, is adult yes/no. Be aware, however, that adult yes doesn't meen movies for people above 18/2, it's a filter for porn.
