I can't seem to get MPAA ratings to show up on movies along with the other icons on either the main movies view, or on the movie info view. Ratings work fine for TV shows however.
At first I figured it was the themoviedb.com parser because it wasn't pulling the rating so I modified the parser to pull the data and now I've got MPAA ratings tagged on the movie but it's still now showing up.
Any ideas?

Whats the difference between the IMDB ratings results and that from themoviedb? How does Transparency determine the rating? (I guess I could dig into the skin code...but..so..lazy...)

Scratch that, found it in Includes_MediaFlagsVideo.xml. Makes sense why it's not working now, it's looking for 'Rated G' instead of just 'G' that themoviedb provides, that's what I suspected.

I was missing the MPAA icons for Movies too.
I uninstalled XBMC and the profile, then installed XBMC SVN 31639 and Rev 488 of your skin.
I had to rescan all my movies / tv shows to get them back in my library.
The TV Shows now show TV-14,etc, but Movies do not show the MPAA
I'm using the IMDB scraper for Movies and TVDB for TV Shows. I haven't tried TheMovieDB for Movies yet.
Just an FYI to let you know it still doesn't show.
Do you need any more information from me?

Yes the movie db scraper is incomplete, it doesn't scrape the mpaa rating. I updated my own version so it grabs it. It simply returns the rating (ie: R) and no other text.

I don't know if this is the same problem, but I used 'ember media manager' and have recently switched to 'media companion', both of which scrape the mpaa rating from imdb.com. Mostly that is fine, but certain movies specifically 'G' movies, do not contain the word 'rated', e.g not 'rated G', just 'G'.
Unfortunately that means the mpaa logo doesn't show up in Transparency. I attempted to correct the issue by editing the xml file, but that only caused any ratings with the letter G, eg PG or PG-13, to show two logos.
Anyway... Is there a method to display the 'G' rated movies without messing up the others, is there a media manager that scrapes mpaa ratings from themoviedb instead of imdb, or, do I need to edit all my 'G' rated movies to add the word 'rated'?

Thanks Ronie,
I kind of guessed you would say that, but ember seems to have been abandoned and media companion seems to be going the same way. Do you recommend any others?
