How to keep manually applied Parental Ratings?

[user84 46]

I have adjusted some Parental Ratings on my media and don't want metadata refreshes, or other processes to change them back.

How do I setup Emby to keep these manually applied ratings?

HI, just make sure the field is locked. When you use the metadata editor it will lock the field automatically.

Excellent. Thanks for the reply. Followup - If I ever want to override the manually applied ratings in bulk through a scan, is that possible?

No, not currently.

How would I add a vote to have this option (hidden in an annoying spot to as to not accidentally trigger it)?

Hi, please create a topic in the feature requests section. Thanks.

Hi.  Just FYI, this is what the "Custom Rating" field is designed for.  You can enter your rating there and, since no provider will have that, it should never get overwritten.

I'm not saying your suggestion won't work. But I am saying that it is much more complicated to rate EVERY piece of media I have just to fix a few outliers, than it is to just fix a few outliers and then use the default parental guidance ratings otherwise.

Hi.  You don't have to do that.  Just fill in the custom rating on the outliers...

Ok, maybe I don't understand the custom rating then. Are you saying that if I enter a custom rating, then filter by rating or create a playlist by rating, that Emby will look at my custom rating and ignore the default rating? If so, that would be excellent

The Custom Rating field is used for parental controls only.  So if you enter a Custom Rating on an item that is what will be used to compare to the max rating you set for access control.
