[BETA] New Plex TV Series Scanner

Reposting this issue here after discussing with @OttoKerner

Server Version#: 1.22.0.4163
Player Version#: 4.53.0

Discovered while updating a large number of my TV shows with posters from TPDb, and through troubleshooting on the subreddit in this post. I’m posting here since I couldn’t find a similar issue reported on the forum and would love to see a fix since I doubt it’s anything complicated.

Steps to Reproduce :

  1. Open a TV show
  2. Click the pencil icon next to a season, then go to the Poster tab
  3. Add a new poster (using any method) → the poster will be uploaded but it won’t be selected (indicated with the yellow checkbox)
    3a. However, the poster will still change to the newly uploaded one, which was why users think it worked.
  4. Click save
  5. Add a new episode for the show (doesn’t have to be for the season that you just changed the poster for) and re-scan the TV library → the poster for the season will revert back.

As a workaround you can manually select the poster after uploading, and then click the save button.

This doesn’t happen at the Show level, or for Movies or Collections. It only appears to be affecting seasons. A very frustrating realizing after updating all my season posters and then seeing them reset (especially for long running shows like One Piece or Law and Order).
