I have suffered continuous problems with PLEX going out to the internet to “find” art/posters for my various media. It would be great if I could set PLEX such that it NEVER accesses ANY such art/posters, because they are always poor choices–sometimes having nothing whatsoever to do with the artist or album in question. I have followed your prior counsel and set PLEX up such that it does not use this stuff. Moreover, I have created my own posters (PNGs) in a format that I like. I have used my MP3Tag app to “install” these images in every music file.
For the most part, this works very well. However, out of several hundred different music albums perhaps 8 of them stubbornly refuse to use my images–instead either using some other image, or not going “blank” by using any image at all. I have gone into the files in these albums using my MP3Tag editor, and deleted all “album covers”, but this problems remains. Even when I reinstall my images using the MP3Tag editor, these old, bogus images remain. I cannot seem to delete them. Worse yet, I have no idea where they are, or why they are there. Are they TAG data embedded somehow into the files? Are they images previously “found” by PLEX that PLEX is “hanging on to”? I am struggling to get rid of them, or even to “override them” with my own selected images. By the way, I have noticed this same problem with FLAC and MP3 files loaded on my DAP (Digital Audio Player). I do not want album covers, so I use my TAG editor to delete them. But, somehow, still, some images remain in the audio track, as if they are embedded elsewhere in the file, but not as a TAG image.
I am sure many of you have experienced this frustration. I am hoping that some of you have found a resolution to the problem.
Please advise. Thank you
JAM
