Add presentation category for MPAA movie rating

Issue #380 resolved
Former user created an issue

It would be great to have an additional presentation category in the Video section for the MPAA Movie rating.

When we want to choose a movie to watch with the family it'd be great to be able to select "Movie Rating" (or whatever the appropriate category name would be) to filter movies based on their rating -- such as:

G / PG / PG-13 / R / NC-17 / Unrated / Unknown

We love the Genre category -- makes choosing a movie easy and fun. This new category for Rating would serve a similar function.

I currently use XBMC nfo files for my library and serviio picks up the data just fine, but there is no way to see the movie rating (PG, PG-13, etc). themoviedb.org also provides the mpaa movie ratings for majority of movies too ....so the data is already available in most cases!

Thanks!!

    +1 for MPAA. This would make it very easy to let the kids/teens choose the movies they wish to see. This would make it a very family friendly feature.

    To expand on this concept, i think it would be great to include Serviio Pro content lock feature. This will enable parents to hide R or NC-17 movies from their childrens DNLA devices. More value for Serviio Pro users and happy parents.

    BTW, I would think this should go beyond MPAA and based on a user setting determine which regional rating systems they want to use. You may not be able to get all regions, but covering many of the popular ones if possible based on your user base would be a great start.

    Also this would be a great feature under the Pro umbrella, and I like Xmantium's additions.

    It will only support MPAA, no other ratings (at least for now).
