At present, Plex determines what aspect ratio the posters for a particular thing should be based on what type of library it is. This works great most of the time; music album art tends to be 1:1, movie posters tend to be 2:3, etc. But sometimes it’s kind of obnoxious. For example, posters in Home Vi…

I updated to the latest version of Plex and now have this issue on my PC which is soooo frustrating… However I see that in collections, my posters are still the correct aspect ratio - so If you are willing to tag all your videos and then access them via collections, this could be a work-around of so…

Hi! Have you figure out how to display art/poster in portrait instead it crop as pictures as Landscape?

Hi all! I have some questions: My (Home) Videos Agent are set as Personal Media. I have for each video a poster.jpg, but when Plex scan them, they show as crop in Landscape from a portrait art? Does anyone know how to fix this so it show as Portrait and not crop as Landscape?

No but my workaround solution for the time being is to create a new library as Movies and re-import the personal video folder. Judging that this thread was created in 2015 and no response from Plex employee (except one that pretty much acknowledges the issue), I doubt if we’ll ever see the fix/enha…

Thx for reply PlexUser2020! I was about to do the same thing as you, but I hate to retyping all information on each Video again. But it’s a good ide to make a new section for those Home videos and make it as a Movie section, on that way all video files will have portrait as art.

Adding the entire content of a recent post here because apparently @anon18523487 doesn’t like us starting a new topic because it’s been flat out ignored for years. It’s more convenient for Plex employees to let this languish somewhere they don’t have to see it, I guess. This is an old issue, with a…

So glad I followed your advice, @anon18523487 . You guys are just SO responsive to these feature requests, no wonder you wanted us confining this to this one outdated post instead of starting a new thread. Do you have ANY plans to ever address this? Or is the plan to just continue ignoring your user…

Plex does not comment on the status of Feature Requests. Keeping all requests to 1 thread allows collecting all the votes in 1 place instead of spreading them around. This allows Plex to gauge user interest and to help prioritize what to work on. With 31 votes, this requests is not going to get t…

First of all, prioritization consists of more than just the number of votes. One major aspect of it is also the effort required, and as @baronvonvaderham explained, this change is trivial. You cannot compare this to something like Google Home integration (which I assume is much more complex), no mat…
