Issues with parental rating metadata with movies and shows in 10.9.x - myrdd1n - 2024-05-20
After 10.9.0 was released, I fresh installed on a Windows server and rebuilt my libraries (one music with no saved metadata, one shows with saved images and nfos, two movies both with saved images and nfos ). I'm UK based and have variously set my server to show this, eg, Dashboard > General > Preferred displayed language, Libraries > Metadata, Preferred Metadata language > Country/Region... Previously, on 10.8.x, Parental rating metadata for shows and movies populated with UK-style BBFC ratings, eg, GB-U, GB-PG... If ever an inaccurate or non-UK rating was erroneously populated for a film or show, I could amend in Jellyfin because Edit metadata > Parental rating presented options for UK ratings.
Since 10.9.x, shows and movies still mainly populate with UK ratings, whether newly added or added with previously-created nfos, which is great. However, UK ratings are no longer presented as options in Edit metadata, for TV or movies:
My Jellyfin is set to save metadata as nfos (as it was in 10.8.x) so I've tried manually amending an example nfo's <mpaa> field then rescanning [Dashboard > Scan All Libraries] to see if this will correct the problem. It doesn't. The nfo keeps my manual change after the rescan but the rescan doesn't update the Jellyfin metadata.
As an additional related problem, when I attempt to amend the by-user Maximum allowed parental rating in the Parental Control for my children, UK ratings are no longer presented:
When I set a non-UK rating from amongst the presented options and click Save, Jellyfin appears to take the change but when I click off then return to Parental Control the Maximum allowed... field remains blank - so I can't control my children's access to media anymore.
As an aside, I have a memory (though now no evidence) that movie and show nfos generated by 10.8.x used to save UK ratings in a field called something other than <mpaa>, though perhaps I'm making this up. For shows, I noted too that rating metadata pulled by episode always appeared to be in MPAA-style format, eg TV-MA... rather than UK-style, even back in 10.8.x. However, this never particularly concerned me, aesthetically or with respect to user access - because I assumed my users' access to given shows would've been dealt with at the by show rating level, rather than by episode.
Please could someone advise on these issues? Thanks to everyone involved in Jellyfin for your *amazing* work!
