What's the best way to add MPAA ratings to Apple TV content?

[PupnTaco]

I have a collection of Apple TV-encoded movies I'd like to add MPAA ratings to (PG-13, R, etc). I've tried Lostify and MetaX, but the ratings don't display on the Apple TV and aren't recognized by its Parental Controls.

Any ideas?

I also use MetaX for tagging. My ratings show up on both iTunes and Apple TV just fine. I would try trashing MetaX's preference file and starting over.

Thanks.

Would the movies need to be re-added to the iTunes library after the new tags are written, or just re-synced to the Apple TV? (I stream, not sync, my movies).

Well, re-added -- however simply trying to play the movie again will make the ratings show up. iTunes only scans the files for tags when a) you import them b) you play them. So, if you added ratings but didn't do A or B, you wouldn't see the rating.

Well, I'm doing something wrong then. Ratings still don't display or trigger Parental Controls. :/

Do you check the box next to ratings?

OK, I figured it out. If the movie is already resident in the iTunes Library, it needs to be deleted and re-added.
