Parental rating TV shows with no FSK rating

[LAPS0082 13]

Hi everyone,

I have set up a kids account with a maximum allowed parental rating DE-6/FSK-6

 

This works great for movies but only for some TV Shows.

In the kids account I see TV shows (which should be hidden) with the following rating:

12+

TV-PG

M16

18+

16+

 

Some other TV shows are hidden for the kids account.

These hidden shows have this rating:

TV-14

18

TV-MA

16

12

FSK-12

FSK-16

FSK-18

 

Series Metadata Downloads

1. TheTVDB

2.TheMovieDb

Why are the above ratings not working? How does the matching of the different ratings work?

 

Kind regards

LAPS

Hi, can you please show an example of something that is showing that you think shouldn't be? Thanks.

Hi Luke... I'm pretty sure this should not be FSK-6

Do you have "Block items with no or unrecognized ratings" option enabled under user Parental control?

No

You might enable it and see how does it compare, as these ratings might not be mapped hence considered "unrecognized":

Yes this works. TV-PG is still showing in kids account.

Is there any chance to fix this matching?

I'm not sure if I want to leave: "Block items with no or unrecognized ratings" enable as it might cause to hide other shows I want to see in the kids account in the future.

Quite the contrary, you're making sure they won't see anything inappropriate as only items with approved/confirmed ratings will be shown - if there's no rating or it isn't in proper format they won't show, which is something I assume we all prefer for our kids.

Yes you are right. But it would still be very interesing to understand how the matching of the different ratings works.

In my case FSK-6 still shows TV-PG. Not sure if this is appropriate.

@Luke, maybe "DE-6" and "FSK-6" should have weight of 4 (or even 3?) instead of 5, as that would seem more in-line?

Each country rating is internally assigned value/weight.

[LAPS0082 13]

Thank you @GrimReaperI now understand your trouble of merging the different rating systems. This must be a PITA..

 

Eventually you could add the other ratings with this weight?

ParentalRating("12+", 7),
ParentalRating("M16", 8),
ParentalRating("18+", 9),
ParentalRating("16+", 8),

Thank you for your work. Keep it up

Ratings are assigned basis per country official rating system, not individually - which country would that be?

You could try and fix the ratings via this plugin.

OK, I will give this a try.

Don't know which country this is. I think the the metadata is imported from TheTVDb
