Thanks. I had just noticed mine stopped working but hadn't
investigated yet. Changing the Movie Metadata Source worked for me,
mostly. The problem is that it picks up the rating incorrectly. For
example, it grabs a rating of K-18 for Reservoir Dogs. I'm in the US,
so the rating should be R. On the TMDB web page for this movie
(http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/500-reservoir-dogs), it looks like
K-18 is the rating in Finland.
