Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I currently plan to convert my naming schema for everything from the tmdb id to the imdb id. the problem is i'm a special brand of OCD and prefer cohesion amongst things.
I'd like to have radarr present the IMDB rating under discover if all my files are to be named to IMDB and plex is set to IMDB ratings etc.
it appears that while the add new list defaults to imdb, the discover list defaults to tmdb with the heart+% rating.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the ability to choose which rating system is displayed when browsing your discover list. (and add new list would be great)
Describe alternatives you've considered
honestly the option to choose your preferred rating displayed in both the add new & the discover lists would be great, and likely the best option for all users. that being said my current bias is more concerned purely with cohesion/consistency at the moment lol.
having both the discover list and the add new list display all 3 ratings in tandem is another option. this is the way it appears in individual movies within your library so perhaps it would be closer to a copy/pasta job :P of course this would create issues with sorting by rating I guess, unsure of how that would get handled.
Anything else?
Thank you guys for all your work. Words don't do it justice.
I’d prefer IMDb ratings for discover. Ideally all the ratings, from all the places. Radarr Discover is for finding movies. The more information available, and more ways to filter, the better.
The problem with TMDb ratings is their algorithm. For unpopular titles there can be insufficient votes, so if you sort by rating, there can be movies with 100% rating, perhaps with only one vote!
It would also be extremely useful to display and filter with the number of votes; so as to identify these anomalously high ratings. This is a general problem with all the movie apps that use raw TMDb, Rotten ratings directly. IMDb has an algorithm that generates a score from the votes; and provides a rating that is more resilient to vote bias or rigging.
TMDb API returns this on the movie details GET method:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}
Response snippet of JSON from GET request:
{
"vote_average": 10,
"vote_count": 3
}
Big +1 from me. IMDb really the only ratings I look at when I consider a movie to watch. It's in the Movies list as an option, would love it in Discover as well.
@mynameisbogdan a huge thank you for this update for IMDb; I look forward to spending even more time organizing my collection than ever before 😅 🎬 🎥 🎞️
Indeed this update is very timely as TMDb has deleted some movies recently; one even from the Criterion Collection; and also in their soon to the released CC40 (40th anniversary, with 40 top films).
CC39 if you use TMDb for metadata; as one film doesn’t exist according to TMDb.
Personally I’ve stopped providing edits and updates to TMDb. I’ve switched my scripts to use IMDb API, and will be trying to fade out TMDb
CC40’s eclectic selection includes the releases most frequently chosen by the hundreds of filmmakers, actors, writers, and other movie-loving luminaries who have visited Criterion over the years, as documented in our popular Closet Picks video series.

Hope you like it, added the ratings in all 3 views and should make it easier to see and sort by them.
