Server Version#:1.43.2.10687 Player Version#:1.112.0.359-0d79a49f I had to rebuild a little after my movie Collections stopped displaying in the Mac desktop app, but after that problem was solved, my backgrounds died. They won’t display, even after selecting one in the Edit menu. Basic fixes like rebooting and signing in and out haven’t helped. Help! ---

Is the show background button orange? Orange = show background, white = blur background ![Plex](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/6/7/e/67e8acb726c7b070517bd95fad7b5f17a17c9ae8.jpeg) ---

That’s the fix, thank you so much! I’d never used that button before, but now I finally know what it does.
