[REL] Metacritic agent

Update 14 Jan 2016: The unofficial Metacritic API is offline due to licensing issues. This agent is now broken/useless...

Metacritic doesn't provide an API, this is using the Mashape API for Metacritic

that's awesome, thanks very much! 

Thanks :)

Yes, that is correct.

Yes, that is correct.

cool thanks again for your efforts (on this and your other plugins). 

I've been using plex since 2011 and it's probably my favorite piece of software/technology. I love it. There's only one feature that's always driven me nuts, and for whatever reason it's stood the test of time through all the new releases and upgrades- the 5 star rating system. Rotten Tomato critic rating is 63%, therefore you get 3 full stars, and a sliver of a 4th star. Not a great way to convey a rating IMO.

The only reason I mention this, is this- how big of an undertaking would it be to get the actual % listed in the movie summary? (same as OMDB). 

Not a big deal, I know you have other plugins to work on, just figured I'd ask. I'll be sure to add this to feature requests.

OMDB can add the info to the summary field, because it also grabs the summary. This agent doesn't do that and one agent cannot alter the summary from another agent.

that was what I figured. No worries, thanks.

A sad dead. :frowning:
