A few users now have requested a plugin

[rsvg 14]

They’d like to leave Amazon style reviews on movies/tv. Stars and text to share their thoughts. They’re saying current ratings are so far off IMDb, rotten tomatoes, etc. that they want to leave their own. 
 

this isn’t so much a feature request as it is a request for more information. Could this be built into a plugin for the web app? I saw the previous thread and it seems the developers want to stick to likes. We have a small community on our Emby instance and personalized notes/reviews would rule. 
 

thanks for any info, I’m interested in developing this myself if i can.

I do not believe this could easily be done in a plug-in - at least probably not the way you would want.  You could create a page to add this information but I don't know how you could tie it into the UI nor display it unless you just used the existing fields - in which case, you can already do that in the metadata manager.

Ok, thanks for the info. I’m not against having a separate page for the reviews, as long as I could add a button to the movie detail page. I’ll take a look at the plugin format, thanks!

You can use another community-made plugin, which enables custom/external links to be shown in Links row as a button and link that reviews page.
