Real Rotten Tomato integration

Feature Suggestions
1

I really like the Rotten Tomato agent here, as I tend to agree more with the tomatometer rating vs. IMDb ratings. However, I would love to open up the RT info. when in a movie info screen, from any Plex Client. Instead of seeing just “stars,” we’d see the average user rating %, tomatometer % (maybe even with the logos to accompany?) along with the consensus of how the movie is. Would be great information to have on hand while browsing movies. Apple obviously has this for browsing, but I’m sure they had to pay $$ to do so, but I’m hoping Plex could implement this somehow? Plus, trailers are on RT, too :slight_smile:

Edit: I just came across something crazy while trying to google about Plex and Rotten Tomatoes. Apparently someone has made some code for Roku users that does exactly what I’m asking! I’m wondering if this code could be implemented server-side so all clients could benefit?

I would love to see the RT stuff added to the PMS, but for now here is a note about the Roku channel and RT integration.


I have integrated the RT code into my branch @ https://github.com/ljunkie/roku-client-public/tree/rarflix. I try and keep the branch updated with the master branch from plex inc @ https://github.com/plexinc/roku-client-public. Feel free to give it a go. I have also made some HUD changes for my own preference when Direct Play or Transcoding.

I have also added a private roku (rarflix) channel so I can easily deploy this for friends and other devices around the house. https://owner.roku.com/add/rarflix – ANYONE is free to use it.

  • Example of the HUD with transcoded content

    ps. I branded it rarflix so I could easily tell the difference between the channels - no other reason.

So at this time is there a way to get the RT metadata into PHT? Looks like those links above are for Roku only. Would love to see this in PHT:)

As ljunkie indicated, from a Plex standpoint this would be more of a PMS integration, rather than cycling through all the clients, like PHT, and pulling the Tomato-data into each one individually. The best way to encourage that to happen is to press "Like This" on the OP ... that's how you vote ...

BTW, ljunkie, very cool stuff...

Would really like to see this in addition to/replace the current 5-star rating, which at times I feel be misleading/discouraging since there are so few steps.

So now that this is officially in iOS, we must assume it will make it’s way to other clients, yes?

I would love any kind of rating system other than the currently implemented 5-Star system.

Numeric IMDB ratings or the Tomato Meter would be great.
