Yikes! There was indeed a bug in the latest version of the code! I've fixed this and released an update. Your Plex Media Server will pick up and download the update shortly. Thanks for the report!
Thanks for the quick fix! :-)

I'm still having this problem. For a couple of episodes there is again an empty preview .. and for the rest there is now a working preview, but again it loads a really bad resolution
Just installed this and refreshed. Bloody gorgeous!
I wonder if this plugin could be used with the new premium music scanner?

Yes me too! There is a lot of great artwork on fanart.tv
I have the issue as stated here:

Any recent changes ? :S
It seems that this has stopped working since the Last plex Update. Not sure though.
Although when I selected the empty poster image, it actually downloaded the poster from fanart.tv
However, the Series Poster and the Movie Posters are not affected though.
I encountered the same issue. Only season posters are affected.

I think it already is, certainly the API statistics for the Plex API key suggest that, the feature was announced on 30th April:
28th Apr – 48,779 hits
29th Apr – 43,555 hits
30th Apr – 1,128,668 hits
1st May – 3,594,146 hits
2nd May – 2,720,829 hits
3rd May – 1,586,919 hits
I've always been sort of confused by the metadata scanners. So if I have enabled The Movie Database, MoviePosterDB, and Fanart.tv does it pull covers, backgrounds, and banners from all 3 sources? I'm assuming that the highest agent listed will get priority when auto-selecting which cover or background is used. But when I edit a movie and go to posters, are the posters there from all 3 sources?
I always wanted a confirmation on this so I figured I would just finally ask.
I hate to necro (six months feels like a necro) but:

I have this same curiosity. I’ve always loved fanart.tv and now that it appears to be an official agent (not news, it’s just that I only recently noticed it there), I’ve enabled for all media sources. That said, when I go to reconfigure some cover arts around the collection, I notice that it still doesn’t seem to pull automatically from fanart (I compared by having PMS up on one screen and fanart on the other, didn’t see any from fanart in the cover art query of PMS).
Maybe I need to reboot though…at work now.
PS to mods - If this is necro-ing just delete, nbd.
The way it works depends on how many agents you have that can potentially pull covers etc. - If you have more than one, the scanner goes through the list of agents from top to bottom. If the first agent in your list can get a cover, that cover will be used, even if subsequent agents can also pull a cover. If the first agent can’t find a cover, then the next agent that does “wins”.
Hope this makes sense.

It does indeed, thanks! I guess my biggest curiosity comes not from the initial ‘search’ for the appropriate cover art for any given media, but for the manual fine tuning after the fact.
For instance: if a TV show automatically pulls art for all of the seasons, but I want to use covers from fanart, why, when fanart is in (and active) my list of agents, does Plex not show covers from fanart in the Edit → Poster section of said media?
I think they should be there (in manual edit) but I might be mistaken. If the scanner skips the rest of the agents after the first one found some covers, then that would explain this. I guess only the devs can give an answer to that.
What I do is have Fanart as one of the first agents in the list. Some other agents (like the IMDB one) have a separate option that disables cover art, so with a little bit of finetuning, you can make sure you get Fanart covers most of the time.

If you make changes to the agents or the agents order in PMS preferences, you’ll have to refresh your library for the changes to become active.
