[BUG] Plex No Longer Selecting Default Cover Art For Music After Update (Local Resources)

Server Version#: 1.24.3.5033
Player Version#: 1.33.0.2444-a220eae4

Hi after updating my PMS to the version above doing a scan on my Music Library plex no longer selects a default cover art how it used to. I have tried refreshing the metadata etc but still it does not work unless i manually select the image under the poster section.

Here is a screen shot

As you can see the image is there but for some reason plex does not select it automatically it has to be done from this pop up manually.

any ideas anyone?

I tried doing the following Downloading but not selecting movie poster? - #13 by weycon
however the artwork for music is still doing the same thing.

I can confirm after rolling back my docker container to [1.24.2.4973-1-01] I no longer have the issue where i have to manually select album artwork. Can someone show me where to submit this as a BUG?

I have the exact same issue at the exact same PMS version. Would love a fix for this.

Same problem here as well. Since updating to the latest version, Plex isn’t pulling in the cover art OR the album year from my local tags when adding new albums. My other 100,000+ tracks are all okay - it’s only happened on the dozen or so albums I’ve added since updating.

And yes… my tags are correct - I’m an OCD tagger. Everything appears as expected in foobar2000, Logitech Media Server and my Sonos system.

I am using Personal Media Artists agent, Prefer Local Metadata, Use embedded tags for Genre and Album Art from Local Files Only.

I’m having the same issue

Just thought i would bump this to see if i can get a reply from someone at Plex to acknowledge the bug and can work on a fix.

Bump as well, I downgraded for a temporary fix

I have the same problem on the same Server-Version on DSM 7.

Some categories like radio plays e.g. Die drei Fragezeichen do not have a scraper so you need local metadata like covers and so on.

Right now its really frustrating.

I have the same exact issue with a big music library with embedded cover art. Anything new I’ve added to it in the last month does not show the art anymore. Refreshing directories, scanning, toggling the Advanced library settings back and forth, the art is there in the Poster tab for each album but it never shows by default. Even after updating to version 1.24.3.5033 that said it fixed this problem, it hasn’t worked.

Has this been fixed in the new update?

Yes it has.
