Set it and forget it. Your Kodi library fills itself.
EU Certification Fixer is a Kodi background service that automatically fills in missing age certifications for movies and TV shows. It searches TMDB, OMDB, and national rating authority websites, converts the result to your country's scale, and writes it back to your library.
Built for Kodi 21+ (Omega and newer).
When Kodi scrapes metadata, it looks up the age certification for one country. If that country's certification is missing from TMDB, the item gets no certification at all. EU Certification Fixer finds those blank items and fills them in.
The addon runs quietly in the background. It scans your library on startup and on a configurable schedule. You configure it once and it handles everything from there.
| Step | Source | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | TMDB | Your country's certification directly |
| 2 | National scraper | Your country's rating authority (e.g. FSK for DE, BBFC for GB) |
| 3 | Inference chain | Similar countries in order of cultural relevance; checks TMDB first, then the scraper for each country |
| 4 | OMDB | US MPAA certification, converted to your scale |
| 5 | Retry / fallback | Retries for 30 days, then applies a configurable fallback |
When converting between rating systems, the addon always picks the stricter option for borderline cases.
