Emby requires short MPAA/content rating in NFO metadata #1777

Closed Happy2Play closed 6 years ago

Happy2Play commented 7 years ago

There is no field in the nfo file that covers contentrating from the xml.

psouza4 commented 7 years ago

There's a certification and mpaa field that contains the content rating in NFO exports.

Happy2Play commented 7 years ago

Sorry I guess Emby does read the mpaa rating but since MCM list "Rated PG-13 for violence, action and scary images, and for some suggestive content and partial nudity" it jacks up Parental controls.

psouza4 commented 7 years ago

Emby should be reading the movie.xml metadata as it has for the last decade (since back when it was MediaBrowser). Are your Emby metadata settings correct?

Happy2Play commented 7 years ago

Well they can only read xml's now via a plugin, so you are unable to make any updates via Emby if you are using xml metadata. Info only get written to database if edited via Emby when using xml.

I still use xml via Emby, but there are reports on Emby forum of issues of MCM created nfo files.

psouza4 commented 7 years ago

Some cited sources would be great... links to specific issues posted as separate issues here at the Github issue tracker as well as details on what XML tags Emby wants in NFO files.

Happy2Play commented 7 years ago

Well currently at least in the beta cycle all xml metadata and images are broken.

I will pm Luke to see what I can get.

Happy2Play commented 7 years ago

As for this issue it would be all the additional info in mpaa.

Here are examples Luke provided.

But yes this does come down to how you have Emby configured. And Luke prefer everyone use there providers and nfo format as dev you now how to troubleshoot info you provide.

So basically Emby wants the short content rating for movies instead of the full content rating. Okay.

I've added a new option in Settings & Preferences that will let you export the short content rating to the mpaa field in NFO files. This breaks compatibility with Kodi though so you can either use your NFO files with one or the other (unless you don't care about longer content ratings in Kodi).
