pmac 132 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 As the title says, why don't we have the "reviews" section when looking at a detail screen anymore? It was kind of a nice feature to have if you wanted to get a little more info aside from a star rating for a title. I didn't even find one single mention of it in the forum, surprisingly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37053 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Maybe for user reviews, but I haven't seen any others for professional reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37053 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The guide data has some additional features that we can look at utilizing in the future. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimReaper 3286 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Bumping this up. Any thoughts given on the 'Reviews' aspect? Maybe got in touch with FilmCrave chaps? It could be mutualy benefical, being promoted vice-versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote NOT for mobile application use NOT a free starter movie database MUST NOT query the API more than once per second (strict limit, not an average) Requirements 1 and 2 would appear to cancel us out. Perhaps their paid plan doesn't have those limits but we'd need to be sure 1) it is legit and 2) it is good data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but I reckon that is generalized disclaimer, hence the query "Maybe got in touch with 'em", given enough incentive, I'm sure some agreement can be reached. I can envision that being a fruitful partnership, as they could surely benefit from increased visibility from Emby's userbase, and Emby gaining a feature it's currently missing.

Sparker 31 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Emby can't afford professional critic ratings (which sometimes differ entirely from the audience rating anyway), but won't look into user generated peer reviews (like IMDB consists of) for a feature people have been asking about for a few years now. This is a feature I also miss, and people in this topic have come with an actual possibility. If people don't like user generated reviews they could disable it, but why not give it to the people who want it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8279 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 @Sparker It is a matter of where to get them from? As RT and IMDB want a lot of money annually for their data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I was responding to the most recent messages about https://www.filmcrave.com/api.php It was suggested that the admins reach out to them for the questions they have on API usage cost outside of the bounds of the free offering, but they can also ask where the reviews are sourced from, since that question was asked twice. I imagine it is like IMDB, which is also user generated reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then where would they go? https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/507086-jurassic-world-dominion/reviews?language=en-US https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/293660-deadpool/reviews?language=en-US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Probably a similar layout to what we had years ago. It's just that these are not professional reviews. And also are they moderated for profanity, that could be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) This could actually be a feature Emby could implement in my eyes. The user base is large enough and even a link from the … menu in emby UI can direct to a web page. If you make it a premium option only then you have user name already or premiere key and access token and user can star it and write a review. emby can screen for naughty words prior to acceptance or initially moderate it using the forum moderators until it becomes an insane task as users start to accumulate for this feature. i think it’s an easy implementation and you might be able to sell this info on the back of this as an API. @BillOatman has a plugin already for screening this profanity. hope the cogs are turning in your heads cheese… out!!
