Add obsolete countries to metadata

[chowbok 132]

Can no-longer-existing countries be added to the metadata choices? I'd like to be able to accurately tag, say, pre-1991 Soviet films.

Hi, does MovieDb send back these values?

[chowbok 132]

Not sure how I would determine that.

You have any specific examples?

 

Wouldn't this break the coded MPAA values as country is linked to returned Parental Rating?

Well, for instance, Battleship Potemkin was released in the Soviet Union. Closely Watched Trains was from Czechoslovakia.

Well, I doubt it, because you already have hundreds of countries in the dropdown, including some pretty obscure ones. I'd be really surprised if anyone had the parental ratings for, say, Burkina Faso.

Dev will have to comment but Country of Origin is already recorded but not really used or visible in Emby and has nothing to do with Metadata Country.

 

This does answer @Luke's question, but looks broken

This is very good. It is equivalent to manually specifying a country/region classification for precise screening
