can IMDB be added for ratings?

Imo the moviedb and thetvdb are very poor sources for ratings. Sometimes they are just 1 or 2 ratings for an episode. Have you considered grabbing the ratings form IMDB? Kodi is able to use it and falls back to the movie or TVdb if no rating is available.

we already do, if the open movie database is your first prioritized movie and tv provider, and if they have the rating for the content, which they usually do.

I don't understand. I don't think the server is grabbing the ratings from www.imdb.com.

It doesn't directly.  It gets it from the open movie database which gets it from imdb. 

Change the order of your metadata downloader for movies

The number next to the yellow star should match what's in imdb.  If they don't match then maybe a refresh of metadata is required

I am really just interested in it for episodes. How do you do that? No one rates episodes at the TVDB

I don't think there is any public provider available other than tvdb and themoviedb for episode data.

 

The short answer to your original question is no, not at this time but I'm in contact with them and they say maybe in the future.
