New release - 'Add Polish ratings'

[cochize1 55]

I have just noticed this in new beta release info: 'Add Polish ratings'. Can someone tell me what to expect? Does it add new rating category, next to IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, from Polish site Filmweb?

I would assume that refers to Polish Parental ratings (PG ratings), not score.

Yes this is correct.

@Lukewhat do you think, is it possible to add metadata scrapper for Filmweb.pl site (one of the biggest polish movies DB)?

Hi, I don't see why not. Does MovieDb not have good Polish info?

@Lukethat would be really awesome if you could do that especially regarding the rating system (next to IMDB and RT). I know that for Polish moviegoers Filmweb is equally evaluated as IMDB regarding the opinion about the movie and for some strange reasons (poor taste maybe) it is far more strict about the ratings. That's why most of the time when a Polish person wants to see the opinion on the movie/series apart from IMDB they check Filmweb right after. 

I believe they might even have free api to scrape these ratings as there are some scripts on GitHub that can do it, i.e. https://github.com/cypissa/filmweb-api

From your point of view I guess it might be not worth the hassle to make it just for Polish users but we would definitely appreciate it.

And to answer your question, MovieDb has fairly good info but it's not relatable when it comes to ratings.

Here is how the links looks like on some random Polish site:

As you mentioned, this could indeed add a new rating category, alongside traditional ratings like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
