Artwork modification // mod: allow landscape movie artwork (instead of classic posters)

Increasingly the artwork for movie files are changing from portrait to landscape. As far as I can tell Plex only allows the portrait mode for display. The landscape artworks that you can get now are beautiful and show nicely on a large TV. One app that helps you find this artwork is iFlicks.

Anway please consider allowing to show the landscape view as they get cutoff with the portrait display.

What are you asking here?

  • That Plex in general should turn to landscape posters for all movies in general? Even in the library grid view?
  • That Plex should adapt the preplay pages dynamically to accomodate landscape posters, if they are available for a movie?
  • That Plex should merely allow adding landscape posters to movies and then allow them to be used by clients, if present?
  • Something else?

Hi Otto:

I would endorse the last 2 of your points:

  • That Plex should adapt the preplay pages dynamically to accomodate landscape posters, if they are available for a movie?
  • That Plex should merely allow adding landscape posters to movies and then allow them to be used by clients, if present?

As a new user of Plex app(s), I was curious about this too. I see Grid view but no option to show as portrait or landscape.
All my artwork is landscape (800x450 for example), embedded with Subler in movies and TV shows.

it will be too good

Is there a possibility that plex modern layout uses landscape format media displays like apple tv app., netflix or prime vidéo

it would be a very interesting option !!! Now landscape cover are available .

as plex wants to be modern, why not create this option, and can be rounded off the angles of the posters too.
Please?

The landscape format is more consensual today and modern, information providers have it.

why not give the choice to the user plex, is so complicated to put it in option knowing that, the covers in this format are same, proposed by plex during the choice of media wallpaper

Please the Plex team add this option ?
it’s early Christmas :grinning:

Why can’t we choose the thumbnail type in our movie libraries? All of the streaming services use landscaped thumbnails and there is some good artwork out there for this format. Plex is starting to look dated by only supporting portrait style thumbnails. I propose that you add the ability to choose what thumbnail format the library uses.
