Custom images orientation in custom library

Hi,
I have a custom library I made in Plex for documentaries.

When I create a poster for the documentary in the ratio of 3:2 it will show just fine but when I click into the documentary the poster is now in 16:9 mode & the top & bottom are cut off.

Can the poster be made to keep the 3:2 ratio like in the Films library instead of going to 16:9 like in the TV library?

I have no doubt others have asked before but I was unable to find any topics specific to this on this forum with the search words I used.

Thanks for any assistance

For example, posters in Home Videos libraries use the same 2:3 aspect ratio that is normally used for movie posters. Home videos generally don’t have posters, so you end up with obnoxiously-cropped screenshots of the video, like th…

Hi tom,
I looked at the issue again & created a new library with Films as the type (I had previously used ‘Other’).

Thank you for posting but I guess this thread is now resolved.

Thanks again
