Supported Ratings Systems

[CinemaVision 27]

We currently create ratings cards for the MPAA (United States of America), BBFC (United Kingdom), DEJUS (Brazil) and FSK (Germany).

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is an American trade association that represents the six major Hollywood studios. It was founded in 1922 as the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) to advance the business interests of its members.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), before 1985 known as British Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organization, founded by the film industry in 1912 and responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom.

The Advisory Rating Coordination (Portuguese: Coordenação de Classificação Indicativa) of the Department of Justice, Rating, Titles and Qualification (Departamento de Justiça, Classificação, Títulos e Qualificação) is responsible for the Advisory Rating (Classificação Indicativa) of movies, games and television programs in Brazil.

The Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft (FSK, Voluntary Self Regulation of the Movie Industry) is a German motion picture rating system organization run by the Spitzenorganisation der Filmwirtschaft (SPIO, Head Organisation of the Movie Industry) based in Wiesbaden.

Need a new ratings system added to the Cinema Experience add-on for Kodi?
You will likely need to provide us a database file, or some screenshots of the table. We need to know each individual rating in that column. If you are using the default database format (i.e. you haven't made any changes to Kodi), you can upload the database file to Google Drive or Drop Box and then send us a link to the file. If you are using a MySQL database, you will need to access it yourself (using a viewer of some sort) and send me some screenshots movieview table. Generally, column c12 contains the ratings.

The database you need depends on the OS you are using. This Wiki Page will help you find the proper file. The Video database is named MyVideosXX.db - where XX represents the database version. Use the database with the latest date.
