I have a library of movies, and around 15-20% of my movie posters are in various incorrect languages. I don’t think this is a problem with the file metadata since I recently migrated these exact movies from a different Plex server where I didn’t have this problem. My files are organized and well named. I am aware that this has been asked before in other threads, but none of them resolve my problem, and those OP’s never indicated that they found a solution either. Here is a list of suggestions from the other threads I have found: ⦁ Verify what language you have set your library to. (English) ⦁ “Change the order of your metadata agents, moviepostersdb needs to be above themoviesdb.” (Can’t find any list in the settings that contains moviepostersdb) ⦁ Library Settings \> Advanced \> United States (selected) ⦁ Library Settings \> Advanced \> Prefer artwork based on library language (checked) ⦁ Settings \> Agents \> Movies \> Plex Movie \> Plex Movie Settings \> Localized titles (checked) ⦁ Settings \> Agents \> Movies \> Plex Movie \> Plex Movie Settings \> Prefer artwork based on library language (checked) ⦁ Settings \> Agents \> Movies \> The Movie Database \> Plex Movie Settings \> Localized titles (checked) ⦁ Settings \> Agents \> Movies \> The Movie Database \> Plex Movie Settings \> Prefer artwork based on library language (checked) ⦁ Local Media Assets should also be ‘demoted’ to the bottom of every Agent list (done) After doing all of this, I ran Refresh All Metadata and it didn’t seem to help. Is this the correct way to force a refresh of all posters? And are there any other settings I am missing to solve this problem? ---

I just started having this issue this morning. About 10 or 15 movies I just added yesterday and today loaded with a bunch of foreign language posters. I have 2000 movies in my library all working great and this issue just started happening. I also just added plex pass last week, if that matters. I wonder if its something on their end ---

It’s a bug/vandalism at TMDB. @BigWheel raised the alarm. We’re waiting for the other shoe to drop (results/acknowledgment - so far, none that I know of). ---

TMDB is doing a cleanup of their site. I don’t have any specific details why. You can enable Cinematerial [edit: and/or fanart.tv] agent to get more posters options but might have to select them manually. ---

> [@JuiceWSA](#): > > Is Fanart.tv still a thing? Yes that should still work as well. They just are not enabled by default so folks will need to enable them in agent settings. ---

OK, Good. I don’t know if that’s it, but I’ve always had it enabled, get some really nice posters and backdrops, and over the last few difficult days - I’ve not gotten a strange poster or artwork to speak of. Definitely worth a shot, at least. ---

Having the same issue, so i enabled ‘Fanart.TV’ and put it at the top of the list. Now when i rescan a movie the posters arent synchronizing and only the few from TMDB are showing up. I can enter the link manually but how can make it scrape Fanart.TV automatically? Thanks in advance! ---
