Server Version#: 1.29.2.6334 Player Version#: all Over the last few weeks I have noticed that album and artist images have been disappearing. When going to check and edit the missing object it turns out that image is still there it’s just been unselected (image below) Its the same for everything that is missing. A metadata refresh doesn’t make any difference. Any ideas of a fix will be helpful, otherwise I will have to go through all artists and update manually.

Do you know if that is local art or from metadata source? What is Album Art set to in the libraries advanced setting? ---

It’s set to both. But I haven’t edited the library in well over a year. This is only recent, but I couldn’t tell you exactly when. ![Screenshot 2022-10-28 at 16.11.29](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/f/5/f/f5f77b9b10495e6996f21229ce052697e5720d37.jpeg) ---

Are you employing an anti virus software on the server computer (or your router)? Some of these are blocking access to `archive.org`, where some of the cover pictures are hosted. After you Refresh Metadata of the album or the Artist, you should see notification about the blocked access in the activity logs of that anti virus software. ---

Hmm, actually I have adguard on a rPI. I’ll whitelist [archive.org](http://archive.org) ---

Nope, disabling adguard hasn’t made any difference ---
