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 nam…

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. …

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.

Is Fanart.tv still a thing? I have it and it’s enabled - I am getting English Posters. ATM.

[image] 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!

[image] JuiceWSA: Is Fanart.tv still a thing? Yeps, but you may need a more up to date version .

New added media has the same problem, how can i make it work correctly? I enabled ‘Fanart.TV’ and put it at the top of the list under ‘Plex Movie (Standard)’

[1] These are my settings but still, Fanart.TV isnt scraped when adding new movies or when i re-do a Metascan on files. Is there something else i need to do?
