Had to rebuild due a drive failure. I restored the Plex database, but now posters and background images are mostly gone. I assume it’s an agent thing, but I can’t figure out how to get the artwork back.
Please define “database restore”.
Did you just create your library anew
or did you save and restore the old Plex database file
or the whole Plex data folder
Either way, when you configured the server, did you move the Plex data folder to a different location, away from its default? And if you did, was it onto a volume that is
Posters and Backgound images are not stored in the database, only their location.
So as @OttoKerner said, if you didn’t also restore
then your posters and backgrounds are gone.
If so, and if not having a backup of the whole data folder, you sadly needs to do a refresh all metadata of the libraries.

I’m fine doing a global refresh. When I refresh the metadata of my Movies (350 movies), the refresh takes less than 30 seconds and nothing changes. I’m thinking my agents are messed up, but not sure how they should look.
Screendumps please, as well as debug logs right after doing a global refresh
Thanks everyone. I went into agents again, and enabled some that were not enabled. Posters and backgrounds are slowly coming back.
