Valid ratings for Movies and TV shows vary depending on the country.
How to tag ratings in metadata
For movies or TVshows, each rating has the format "system:rating" within a spreadsheet template,where "system" is the name of the rating system and "rating" is the specific rating within that system. To set the rating using the Content and Rights Administration Feed, use the tag: <rating system="system">rating value</rating>.
Example: <rating system="mpaa">PG</rating>
Unrated content
Content is considered unrated when a movie or TV show hasn't been assigned a rating by a ratings authority for the territory of distribution.
Example: If the MPAA doesn't assign a rating to a movie distributed in the US, the movie should be assigned a rating value of "UNRATED", and the tag would be: <rating system="mpaa">UNRATED</rating>.
UNRATED content will not go live in countries that require ratings (see tablebelow).
Leaving the rating value blank is not the same as UNRATED.
We will contact your team to determinewhether a title should have a rating or is truly unrated.
