Certification and Rating score mismatch IMDB

Post by xman »

Quick little issue I tried reading other posts but why are there different certification schemes for what I assume should be the same global MPAA certification, I physically select only IMDb when doing a match for movies?

example I'm using this

Movies/{genres[0]}/{n} -{Source} {[y, certification, rating]}


see pic below
Question how can I force what is displayed on IMDb web to be the same certification and rating score in some instances filebot retrieves?

(nb; tried to read this didn't understand - http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... 227&p=7443)

Additional metadata is always retrieved from TheMovieDB.

If you want to force IMDb data you can use OMDBAPI via the {imdb} binding, if data is available anyway.

Sorry rednoah, but it didn't make a difference?

is there anyway I can see OMDB data to see if I can compare it to IMDB ? see where the disparity is ?

assume u meant to try binding it like this. (results are still as per picture above- PG-13 and 6)

{n} -{Source} {imdb.certification}, {imdb.rating}

Yes, when using {imdb.rating} you would get the imdb rating via OMDBAPI which is getting it's data via scraping the imdb web page. Naturally OMDB might be out of sync with the imdb website at times.

You can lookup data manually on their website:
