[Request] numeric Imdb rating in MediaPortal

Daffy · 2006-04-20, 03:44

The ImdB rating system is very specific, with decimals (for instance a 7,4 ImdB rating is much higher than a 6,7, but is hard to see that difference with the stars in MediaPortal). It's even harder to see from a distance, when you are sitting on the couch in front of the TV.

I'd very much like to have the option to see the Imdb rating as a number instead of the stars, in the screen with the movie info.

Is this configurable somewhere? If not, please consider this a feature request if more people would appreciate this.

I'd like this as well!

In my school days I would care less if I had a 6.7 or a 7.4...

And I really do not think you will notice the difference in movie quality as well

There is a sensible difference on IMDB between a movie that has

6.7 : http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/

and another with :

7.4 : http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0121164/

I think displaying the stars + the score is not a great deal

True, because it would both lead to the same result: 7

On ImdB the difference matters substantially.

I would like numbers to, but not realy important.
