Hi,

could it be, that there is a bug in 3.5 regarding the MPAA ratings? In my previous reports I could use the MPAA command to show the german FSK logo, which won't work with 3.5. Also the english movies, I have, aren't showing any logos..

Does anybody has the same problem?
regards,
Foppa

I have the same problem with Mpaa ratings and using the Mpaa command to show the german FSK logo. After updating DVD Profiler from Version 3.1 to 3.5. my report shows no longer the FSK logos.

The problem seems to be in the logical compare function. I have played around with this and if I make the action to display the image NOT EQUAL, it will display the first logo in the list all the time no matter what. This was done as an experiment to see why the ratings logos no longer displayed. So the image will display OK, it just never will because the logical compare function is not working in 3.5.

Do the programmers monitor these threads, or do I have to open a ticket on this?

I'm having the same issue ...MPAA Ratings do not exist (are blank) and is why setting the logical condition 'not equal' produces a result...however unlogical it is!

Invelos states that this is a known error that will be repaired w/ v3.5.1, release timing is "expected soon as .1 releases are generally bug fixes"

Hi,

since I had the same problems, based on the MPAA-rating no logo was displayed, with 3.5.0 I installed the new beta 3.5.1 Build 1249.

I am using at my report the following conditions on the MPAA-Rating
=G, =PG, =PG-13, =R and >R

Result with 3.5.0: no logo was displayed
Result with 3.5.1: =G, =R and >R seem to work, =PG and =PG-13 still do not work

So I reported the issue to the Version 3.5.1 Build 1249 Bug Reports thread and got this answer from Ken Cole:

"The MPAA Rating conditional is there for backwards compatibility only.  The new Rating conditional is recommended as it works with the new ratings system."

Because of this answer I tried to find any explanation about the new rating system, but I was not successful. Has anyone any idea where to find some information about the new rating conditional to use on reports?

Anyway, what I found out so far is that you have to use "Rating" as instead of "MPAA Rating".
Then you are only able to use "= (equal to)" or "!= (not equal to)" to compare, less or greater than is not available anymore.
As I found out so far, the value to compare with depends on the DVD country, which is depending on the UPC/EAN code.

Therefore I think you could  compare with:
“FSK-0”, “FSK-6”, “FSK-12”, “FSK-16” and  “FSK-18/KJ” for German DVD’s
“G”, “PG”, “PG-13”, “R” and “NC-17” for American DVD’s
“U”, “Uc”, “PG”, “12”, “15”, “18”, and “R18” for English DVD’s

I am not sure how to use “Ungeprüft”, “Porno”, “NR”, “Adult” or “E”, yet. Has anyone a clue?


It seems a little bit more work on the reports to me, but also the possibility to be more correctly.
Anyway, my report is now working again.


Greetings André
