!!! warning "IMPORTANT CHANGES TO RATINGS IN KOMETA 2.0.3"
As part of an overhaul of the Ratings default file introduced in 2.0.3, some changes have been made that makes life easier for the user:
A new way to apply Ratings overlays has been released as part of Kometa 2.0.3,
Kometa will automatically fetch the live rating from the selected source (TMDb, IMDb, Trakt via MDBList, etc.) during the Overlays run. This means that **users no longer have to run Mass Rating Update operations to update the Plex ratings**. In effect, this detaches Plex's ratings system from the Ratings overlays.
This new system allows the rating to be applied to posters without having to first run Operations to override Plex's in-built ratings slots.
This is an opt-in feature, any existing configs will continue to work.
We **strongly** advise that you read [this blog post](https://blog.kometa.wiki/en/latest/) which goes into more detail on the changes and what they mean for you.
In addition, Kometa will automatically select the best image to use based on the selected rating source that you have chosen. For example, if you define `rating1: imdb` then Kometa will automatically make the image for that rating `imdb`. **You no longer have to specify `ratingX_image` unless you want to override Kometa's default image selection.**
