It certainly is.

Now it is a matter of what/how they implement it.

[Luke]

I will start figuring out the database and metadata file storage for it.

[Happy2Play]

I know MCM does/did a FormalMPAA in the xml.

<FormalMPAA>Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action, and some strong language</FormalMPAA>

But then the issue of presenting this on Rating or just during media playback as I can assume these could be quite long.

[Luke]

Ideally the way they do it would be separate from the rating so that it doesn't include the "Rated pg-13 for " prefix. But without many options for this data we're going to have to roll with whatever they come up with.

Because actually if they combine it, then it will get really messy when the user edits their parental rating in the metadata editor but does not update the parental description to match.

Things to think about depending on implementation.  But won't know what we are working until they implement some something.  Tweaked xml plugin to read existing FormalMPAA.

Different ways to tackle this. Really glad it’s getting implemented.

1. have the new rating with content description on its own line
2. Keep just the rating but convert to button to have full description revealed in a modal
3. before the item plays show the full description almost like an intro but after intros in a queue if intros are enabled(user defined with a switch to enable in library options)

If I where moviedb I  would  implement some kind of enum.

Mild = 1

Strong = 2

Intense = 3

 

Then apply those values to different target words like Language, Fear, Violence, Suggestive Material.

 

Then you could group the values together and join the strings easily "Mild Language, and Suggestive Material. Intense Violence, and Fear".

As an aside.... That movie certainly was ... And it was great!

This is good news but just for clarification, TMDb is looking to add a "rating reason" which is good but different from this request which is a rating from CSM specifically.  Those are two different things.
