My agent does this:
episodeMetadata.thumbs[thumb] = Proxy.Media(image)(thumb)
The Metadata XML looks fine:
And the file 9ddbe99abd56beef22b54c46d711a5094cfb026c exists and is a valid image.
Yet, Plex still uses a still image from the video for a thumbnail.
I’m on the latest version 1.3.4.3285 on Linux and I know that this works on a different computer I use (no access right now so i don’t have the version number)
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
episodeMetadata.thumbs = Proxy.Media(data, sort_order=None)
url is the image url
data is the image itself.
There’s a known issue on lates versions: https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle/issues/98
Yeah, sorry. The code I quoted is no the code I use. I simplified for the post. The actual code does use the image data in the proxy, not the URL.
Has anyone tried to contact the Plex crew about this?

It was actually a code change to fix (Metadata) Preserve user edited text fields when unmatching and rematching a media file. (#4999) in the 1.3.0 release notes https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1305852/#Comment_1305852
We are working on testing a fix now.
