HOW-TO:Remove ratings in Confluence

This tutorial will show how to remove ratings from the library views List/Big list/Fanart/Media info/Media info 2 and from TV/Movie information. This is achieved by editing ViewsFileMode.xml, ViewsVideoLibrary.xml and DialogVideoInfo.xml.

  Original movie Fanart view

  MOD

These mods will not just remove ratings. They will also remove episode count (when browsing shows), play count, MPAA rating and date from the library view you've edited (when selecting the corresponding sort). That's not that big of a problem if you e.g. only use the List view for browsing movies/episodes and you don't use its other sorts. These mods don't break the actual sorting, they just remove the text. They also don't affect the File views (Video->Files).

The mod for Fanart view is different and it only removes the ratings, nothing else.

Note that the the control section below is the exact same for List/Big list/Media info/Media info 2.

List

A. Open the file ViewsFileMode.xml. The file starts with <include name="CommonRootView">, which is the include section for the List view.
B. Find the following code in the include section and comment it out. The exact same code is in two places in the CommonRootView include. The first one shows name/ratings/date in grey when the selection isn't on the row, while the second one is for showing name/ratings/date in white when the selection is on the row. Both must be commented out.
