What version of the media icon pack did you get? Was it pack (Textures.xbt) or not? Did it install correctly? First try a simple 'reload' on a couple movies, sometime that works. Or you could try using "fixed" v1.40 metadatautilities. Even though v1.37 works more or less I had some problems with it particularly with TV shows so I installed v1.40 which works much better. As long as you don't delete the cache v1.40 is the better choice. You can delete thumbnails just leave the cache. If you really must delete the cache just use v1.37 to get started then update. That cleared up most of my missing icon issues. I can't speak specifically about mpaa icons but I assume you are using US ratings where I on the other hand use Canadian ones. I did however notice a few old NC-17 that I hadn't changed weren't showing. That may or may not be related to the bug listed below? The errors suggest that may be the case. Do the white icons work or do neither coloured or white ones work? When I get a chance I'll see if I can reproduce you problem.

I download the latest versions of all icon packs, media, studios and records labels, manually from your repo and unpacked the .xbt files along with the .xbt from the skin so I could add my icons. After scanning them I discovered a few non-ascii file names in them, there were 2 in one of them and about 20 in another. After removing the offending files, repacking the .xbt, then reinstalling them my setup (using metadatautilities v1.40) now runs much faster and smoother. But, of course, I had to perform the ritual dance in order to get the media icon pack to install, as usual.
Just thought you might like to know that a few bad file names have crept back in.
I don't know what your method is to check for bad file names? If you are familiar with or use "Bulk Rename Utility" it can be used to do a fast & easy scan for non-ascii characters. If you are interested let me know and I'll post the simple instructions?
