dubs 1 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hopefully I'm not repeating something already suggested, but I've recently started playing around with the Parental Control features on Emby and found a couple of "issues". I've quoted it because they may be designed this way. 1. Login error out of Access Schedule - While logging in outside the access schedule doesn't work as expected, the popup error of "Invalid username or password" is very misleading, initially I thought the account was broken in some way. I assume this should say "Access not allowed at this time" or something similar. 2. Parental Ratings - I can correctly see all the GB ratings, GB-U, GB-PG, etc. as I would expect. However a fair few shows have non GB ratings, such as the 7+ rating which I assume is American. It would be handy if maybe the list had some way to handle these, especially given the lack of bulk editing these ratings on a global basis. Hopefully I'm not doubling up any other topics .

ebr 14913 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hi. Yes, it would be good to have a better message. Right now, the apps don't know anything except that it failed and, in most security situations, you don't really want to provide details on why it failed. This may be an exception to that... On the ratings, can you explain more of what you mean? We handle lots of types of different ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yes what is the exact problem that you're having with the rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs 1 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Under Parental Controls, the Maximum allowed parental rating has these options: GB-U GB-PG GB-12 GB-12A GB-15 GB-18 GB-R18 I assumed it picked these up for my region, which makes sense. However some of the media I have has non-GB parental ratings in the metadata. For example, TV-Y7. Most with this seem to be GB-U equivalent, but don't show up if I restrict the account to GB-U. My current solution is to dig out everything with the wrong rating and manually update it, which is a tricky one because Emby doesn't really have the tools for that. What would perhaps be better would be more granular options. I don't want to allow GB-PG content, but TV-Y and TV-Y7 would probably be fine. Hopefully that is a clearer explanation!

Happy2Play 8282 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 There really needs to be a chart in the wiki/support for the comparison values of multi language parental ratings. US LoadRatings("us", new[] { new ParentalRating("TV-Y", 1), new ParentalRating("APPROVED", 1), new ParentalRating("G", 1), new ParentalRating("E", 1), new ParentalRating("EC", 1), new ParentalRating("TV-G", 1), new ParentalRating("TV-Y7", 3), new ParentalRating("TV-Y7-FV", 4), new ParentalRating("PG", 5), new ParentalRating("TV-PG", 5), new ParentalRating("PG-13", 7), new ParentalRating("T", 7), new ParentalRating("TV-14", 8), new ParentalRating("R", 9), new ParentalRating("M", 9), new ParentalRating("TV-MA", 9), new ParentalRating("NC-17", 10), new ParentalRating("AO", 15), new ParentalRating("RP", 15), new ParentalRating("UR", 15), new ParentalRating("NR", 15), new ParentalRating("X", 15), new ParentalRating("XXX", 15) }); GB LoadRatings("gb", new[] { new ParentalRating("GB-U", 1), new ParentalRating("GB-PG", 5), new ParentalRating("GB-12", 6), new ParentalRating("GB-12A", 7), new ParentalRating("GB-15", 8), new ParentalRating("GB-18", 9), new ParentalRating("GB-R18", 15) }); The rating index value for TV-Y7 is in between GB-U and GB-PG. So systems with mixed country parental ratings can and will have issues. They will have to apply custom ratings per item or apply tags per item.

ebr 14913 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I guess the only complete solution would be to show a consolidated list of choices - filling in the blanks with other rating systems more granular than your region's. My only concern there is that people would be confused by the unfamiliar options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs 1 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 I wonder if there could be a tick box for "Show All". So it defaults to just showing regional options, but its easy to show them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yes it's something we can look at improving. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
