Parental Ratings

[gemx]

If this works we can easily add an option like "Request pin code for all shows where parentalRating>...".
Also how about an option in SetupTV like "add star rating" and "add parental rating/classification" to title.
The title could look like "Spiderman 3 **+ (NC-17)" ?

At the moment this only works for "standard" parental rating descriptors as specified in the DVB standard.
e.g. Premiere World uses this descriptor in Germany.
I added grabbing the special Dish/BEV parental rating and star rating but as a test this functionality (grabbing parental/star rating for Dish/BEV) is currently only included in the attached TsWriter.
For those who want to try:
- Download the latest TVE3 snapshot. At least rev. 15761 !!!
- Replace the TsWriter.ax (no need to re-register the filter) and start grabbing the epg
Currently there are only additional log entries in TsWriter.log like
"epg: star rating: *+ parental rating: NC-17

Hi gemx,

I noticed the parental rating is an int in Program.
Can you tell me what are the conversions from the "friendly" ratings are.
For example, NC-17=9.

Thanks,
patrick

Hi patrick,
the description "NC-17" would be saved in the classification column as string.
The parentalRating int field holds the minimum age suggested to view the program.
So NC-17 would be converted as to the int value 18.
In this case (the parental system which follows the MPAA) would have to cols filled.
The classification with NC-17 and the parentalRating with 18.
So you have both infos available.

First off sorry for the delay. As you may have been reading in various forums, the North American providers have been keeping us pretty busy of late Unfortunatelly I'm not running MediaPortal at the moment. I'm in the process of setting up a new PC to do so. Hopefully ASiDiE has done this already for you

Actually its for BEV 9 day Its a little annoying I guess because BEV keeps changing transponders and even sats for this information Are those changes in SVN yet?
