Local Media Assets: TV Episode Thumbnail Files

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#: 4.51.3
Player Version#: Latest AppleTV and Android FireTV versions

Is it possible to add your own thumbnails in the same manner as you can for posters, fanart, etc.? I have attempted to change the files, but have been unable to make Plex discover the file change. In this case, I am specifically trying to update the thumbnail files generated for TV episodes.

ex: TV Show - s01e02 - Episode Name - WEBDL-1080p-thumb.jpg

I looked at the options for the Plex Media Scanner via Command Line, but nothing I ran made a difference either.

Just drop the -thumb suffix. Episode artwork must be named exactly as the episode file.

Well crap. Appreciate the guidance even though I looked that doc over multiple times. I guess the additional “-thumb” is from some of my Sonarr metadata additions. Apologies for missing this up front.
