Server Version#: 1.32.3.7089
Some of the film’s episode covers do not scan
I think the “-thumb.jpg” format is fine, most episodes are normal, only a few are not recognized

In contrast, there are films with normal cover displays:

I think you need to lose the “-thumb”
https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220717-local-media-assets-tv-shows/
Each episode can have its own artwork. Typically, this will be a representative screenshot from the actual episode itself. These are usually displayed on the details page for an episode. As episode art typically comes from the episode itself, it will usually be either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. The artwork to display for an episode can be specified using an image file named identically to the episode file and placed alongside it:
/TV Shows
/Heroes
/Season 01
Heroes - s01e01 - Genesis.mp4
Heroes - s01e01 - Genesis.jpg
Maybe you’re right, but I think it’s a bug if only some of the episodes have problems
Not sure but the only thing I can think of is that it’s not recognizing there’s any artwork at all for those episodes so the images are being pulled from the TVDB or TMDB.
It’s not actually using that poster you have, it’s just the same one being pulled
I created a black image to replace the local cover, and apparently it was recognized
So obviously, this is a bug
This happens all the time when someone names their show 1X01 (or some other variation) instead of s01e01
It works until they get to season 3 and then nothing shows up
If you use unsupported naming formats it might work some of the time but eventually it’s going to fail
Ok, I have changed the file name, restarted Plex server and refreshed the file, unfortunately it still does not recognize it

You refreshed the metadata for the whole show?
If you did, I’m starting to think those images are actually embedded in the file itself
Take one of the external jpg covers out and refresh the metadata. If it’s still the same image it has to be
Otherwise you should pull the poster from the TVDB
Thanks for your reply, I have modified the MP4 cover using the editor and it has been successfully displayed in PLEX. How can I force the plex server to read only local cover images?
If there is a way I don’t know. It appears to always pick the embedded image first before it looks at the external .jpg
I’m afraid your only option is to edit them all out, but I’m not sure
