[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 850074, member: 18896"] Saw your question on MovPic forum to only refresh movies which lack proper certifications, which made me relook this thread and noticed I overlooked this last question of yours. Yes, it is possible for me to do some sort of rudementary US -> UK rating conversion. Infact I already do that for many other country ratings, since they are not well represented at the IMDb website, such as for example 'Spanish'. So in that case I first look for the Spanish rating, but when one does not exists I fall back on a rough translation from USA rating into Spanish one. The same can be done for UK, except there are a few risks involved. [LIST=1] [*]It will be impossible to know if the rating shown is a true BBFC based rating, or a 'bad' conversion. An empty rating corresponds properly to "no rating", so that a user can verify the respective websites and contribute a proper rating. [*]As prude as they are here in the US, this can lead to recent examples such as "Bully (2011)" getting an R-Rating in the US, but in Canada (and I assume UK) the movie has a PG rating. But with a strict conversion this would lead to UK:15 conversion and not UK:12. [/LIST] But it is possible and if the average UK-user, prefers a rough conversion over an empty rating, then I'll be happy to add the modifications. Regarding your MovPic thread question, I have some plans to add additional IMDb+ refresh methods alongside the 'All' and 'A-Z' methods currently possible. One of them is to only refresh movies with missing data, such as certifications. No idea on ETA though, my C# skills are far from ideal to do anything quick, so my hope lies with some of the contributers to speed things up :) [/QUOTE]
