kikinjo 162 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) https://mdblist.com/ Contains ratings from all relevant sites for movies and tv shows. Service also has api access and should be easy to implement. With one integration it would be possible to have all the ratings for movies and tv shows. Ratings are updated every 4 days. Edit , description from web site : Quote Get information about Movies and TV Shows with ratings from IMDb, Trakt, TMDb, Letterboxd, RottentTomatoes, Metacritics Metascore, RogerEbert, and more alongside movie details, watch providers, keywords, and more.

Considering mdblist.com/api site states: Quote mdblist.com API Use the mdblist.com API service to access information about ratings, votes, streaming services and more. If you find this service useful, consider becoming a supporter. Is pretty safe to assume that data is free. However, that doesn't prevent anyone to establish contact and assure themselves. Besides, couldn't find anything about api calls limit, either per timeframe or total. Edited April 26, 2022 by GrimReaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as long as THEY are doing it - and have not been DMCAed yet - don't see how does that affect Emby? It's practically same as getting RT ratings from OMDB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site doesn't appear to have any, but it does feature a 'most pirated' API endpoint. As OMDB's Brian Fritz stated several years ago: Quote After becoming all too familiar with Amazon (who owns IMDb) and Fandango's legal team on a regular basis, I've been looking into other options for returning movie ratings. With this proposed change, I would act merely as a conduit and relay an unmodified response from other service providers which is protected under the 512(a) "safe harbor" of the DMCA. Which might or not refer to the same providers used here - as said, we are all speculating and further clarification is needed. Edit: That said, just in: Quote L linas@mdblist.com to me 12 minutes ago Details Hi, I did read the posts in the forums. 80-90% of the data is collected via open API from TMDb and Trakt. But remaining data is scrapped from mdb.com site and imdb data sets, from RT and more sources. I would suggest for emby to build some mdblist plugin, and not integrate on the application level. But the best way would be to have PMM https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager to build support for emby. It currently allows retrieving ratings from mdblist.com via API to Plex, and developer would gladly build support for emby, but has no experience with it and its abilities to integrate with third-party tools. What do you think? You can join PMM Discord to know more: Plex Meta Manager Discord Server On 2022-04-26, at 21:42, Grim Reaper <grimreaper76@gmail.com> wrote: Good day, following discussion here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/107969-integrate-mdblistcom-for-ratings-from-all-relevant-sites It would be appreciated if you could offer some insight/clarification, as it would potentially involve business relation/subscriber influx.

If you personally wish to purchase a new stereo from that guy in the truck in the mall parking lot then that is your choice. We, as a company, cannot afford to do that . I would think our current situation with Google would completely validate my concerns about Emby, the company, remaining completely on the up and up.

Following that, yeah, I'd say you are correct, especially in light of recent Google drama. Edited April 26, 2022 by GrimReaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrentc3 40 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 how about just being able to support / parse other ratings sources from nfo files? would love to be able to see the ratings from multiple sources on my media. tmm does well to bring that data in… surely just having additional ratings sources supported and parsed from local nfo doesn’t present DMCA concerns. emby wouldn’t be scraping it….

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Why not create another option. Let's call it, say, "emby premium". That this option gives other things like imdb rating with imdb logo, dolby atmos - vision logo, dts logo. 4k uhd logo , hdr10 hdr10+. All sorts of options I guess cost money. And somehow roll it out to us the consumers who adored it. I think it will definitely give an upscale upgrade to emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that requires other tools that Emby currently does not use as ffprobe does not see this information. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/108984-mediainfo-for-emby-pluginhdr-vision-atmos-dtsx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
