MPAA

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if you could add the MPAA rating in the title like you have 
the imdb rating.  It would make it easier to find kid movies and could block 
rated R or UR movies from them.

open source code for Zeeb does this so you might be able to see how they do it 
(requires adobe air)

Yes, it's a good idea.
I need to get information about this, because MPAA is only in USA (maybe i'm 
wrong), for example in Europe the name is PEGI and it's not the same "scale" as 
MPAA rating.

I will add it, and try to support all rating scale that i can found.

Not sure if this will help.  I think this is java which you are using?  Anyway 
here is some code from another open project.  You will notice i selected only 
the mpaa part from the code and link is included at the bottom

private boolean extractCertificationFromMPAA;

extractCertificationFromMPAA = 
PropertiesUtil.getBooleanProperty("imdb.getCertificationFromMPAA", TRUE);

        if (OverrideTools.checkOverwriteCertification(movie, IMDB_PLUGIN_ID)) {
            String certification = movie.getCertification();
            if (extractCertificationFromMPAA) {
                String mpaa = HTMLTools.extractTag(xml, "<h5><a href=\"/mpaa\">MPAA</a>:</h5>", 1);
                if (StringTools.isValidString(mpaa)) {
                    String key = siteDef.getRated() + " ";
                    int pos = mpaa.indexOf(key);
                    if (pos != -1) {
                        int start = key.length();
                        pos = mpaa.indexOf(" on appeal for ", start);
                        if (pos == -1) {
                            pos = mpaa.indexOf(" for ", start);
                        }
                        if (pos != -1) {
                            certification = mpaa.substring(start, pos);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        // CERTIFICATION
        if (OverrideTools.checkOverwriteCertification(movie, IMDB_PLUGIN_ID)) {
            String certification = movie.getCertification();
            String certXML = webBrowser.request(getImdbUrl(movie, siteDef2) + "parentalguide#certification", siteDef2.getCharset());
            if (extractCertificationFromMPAA) {
                String mpaa = HTMLTools.extractTag(certXML, "<h5><a href=\"/mpaa\">MPAA</a>:</h5>", 1);
                if (!mpaa.equals(Movie.UNKNOWN)) {
                    String key = siteDef2.getRated() + " ";
                    int pos = mpaa.indexOf(key);
                    if (pos != -1) {
                        int start = key.length();
                        pos = mpaa.indexOf(" on appeal for ", start);
                        if (pos == -1) {
                            pos = mpaa.indexOf(" for ", start);
                        }
                        if (pos != -1) {
                            certification = mpaa.substring(start, pos);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Thanks, but i don't need this because we've got another approach to extract 
information.

Get mpaa rating is not a problem, the most difficult part is to find equivalent 
depending of countries.

NB : Yes, Movie Renamer is in Java.
NB : I made a mistake PEGI is for video game not movies :-)
