Please remove the country initials in the viewing classification. 

For exempele : 

מוגבל לצפייה מגיל 18-IL 

WHY WE NEED TO SEE THE IL? 

PLEASE REMOVE IT

[ebr 16171]

Well, one reason would be for people with media with rating classifications from multiple countries.  If you removed that, it would be impossible to see that.

Sorry, I do not understand.  Why should I see this?  If I know that the rating is for example Israeli.  After all, it is in accordance with the fact that I choose the display language, which is Hebrew.  

As if the display language is English and all display and library selections are for the United States country.  So when a viewing classification appears, for example: PG-13 ... next to that are the initials USA?  No.

[ebr 16171]

Hi.  No, that isn't necessarily correct.  The metadata could be from multiple different places and some could have GB ratings and others DE and others US.

OK.  There will be different ratings.  Why should the country's initials be next to the rating?  I am now talking specifically about the Israeli user. Wheni  chooses the Hebrew display language.  And when i chooses for the library to download metadata for the Hebrew language (israel).  We do not need to emphasize the initials of the country (IL) as we already know that the ranking is Israeli, especially since it is presented in the Hebrew language.

Is that possible? The dropdown only contains Australian ratings for me.

US ratings don't list the country at all, they probably should.

What drop down?  In any case, the ratings can come from any number of metadata sources - one of our providers, an nfo file, etc...

@ebr i think if you have your preferred metadata settings and country for libraries…then only local ratings are displayed for your chosen region. 

i agree tho, why doesn’t US have the US prefix for consistency?

But that's a setting and it is per library.  Which means different libraries could be different.  Plus, as I said, metadata could come from anywhere - including existing NFO files from an external source.

I know I have items in my system with GB and other ratings.  I immediately know this because it is displayed that way.

Because the VAST majority of movies come out of the US and are rated by the MPA which is, I believe, pretty much a global standard of sorts.  Also the majority of our users are from the Americas and they all understand the MPA ratings inherently.  I'll admit this is a bit of a US bias but that is supported by the majority of the user base at this time.

I'm saying nothing... because it will start an un-necessary tangent to the OP request.

Either way i completely agree that the Country Identification is necessary in the ParentalRating.

I have to say that it kind of feels like a joke to me.  All the answers are here.  There is something very simple and fundamental to understand here.  For me as a user of emby in the Hebrew language, I choose  metadata for movies or series in the Hebrew language.  I have no need for any cruelty that what will appear is suitable for Israel (IL).  Very simple!  I know and will always know that the rating is Israeli - because it appears in Hebrew it is and I know this type of ratin.  Why do I need the (IL) to appear?

It does not exist anywhere, not on Netflix, not on Disney Plus, not on Plex.

I don’t see why its a big deal

Hang on a sec here, Netflix and Amazon and disney are in complete control of their user base and the media they can access thru their apps. And are very much locked to your region.

emby is sorting out media from any source, in any region, in any language that cant really be controlled. 
 

so i feel your comparison is unfair.

You actually exactly confirm my claim! Because these platforms are locked to my region.  This is exactly what happens with emby when I choose the display language and the library settings and the metadata that is downloaded to it according to the country that I choose.  I choose to have emby adapted to my region (my country) and display language.  So why do I need to see that the rating is from (IL)

I agree it's probably idea to remove it, but based on the way that parental controls are built right now it's not easily done, but it's something to consider if we were ever to revamp and overhaul them.

Ok. fair enough

[Happy2Play 9780]

Unless there is a way to just hide the prefix in UI, yes the entire Parental controls system would have to be revamped as it all works of prefix-rating so just having 12, 14, 16, or 18 is a UNKNOWN rating.

Example

            LoadRatings("fr", new[] {

                new ParentalRating("FR-U", 1),
                new ParentalRating("FR-10", 5),
                new ParentalRating("FR-12", 7),
                new ParentalRating("FR-16", 9),
                new ParentalRating("FR-18", 10)
            });

            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)
            });

Can I edit independently in the nfo file?

No as these are coded into server.

Sure you can change your item nfo mpaa but then it becomes an unknown rating and will fail with Parental controls.
