I have likely a dumb question … I ripped my DVD’s and set up a Plex Library. On my computer I used Match to download posters, backgrounds and other movie metadata. On my computer I used Match to download posters, backgrounds and other movie metadata. On my PC each movie shows up in the menu as a poster. On my FireTV they show up as backgrounds. How do I make the TV App show movie posters?
TIA! 
OK, I figured it out. If you are adding Libraries for your Ripped DVD Movies, TV Shows or even DVR’ed Moves and TV Shows, but creating “Other Videos” Libraries you will not get Posters to show up on a FireTV, Only Backgrounds. Plus you have to manually match each video file with Posters and Backgrounds. Of course after doing this for all of my DVD’s and DVR’s, I found the solution.
You need to created Libraries for “Movies” and “TV Shows”. Once you do that, Posters will show up on a FireTV! Not only that, but Plex will automatically download both Posters and Background for each video. Out of over 300, I only have 3 or 4 that were identified incorrectly by movie or date. East fix is to just select “Fix Match” and it will give you other options.
I sure wish Plex Support or someone had shared this with me after posting here, several Facebook Groups, and even several YouTube Channels.
Anyway, I thought I would share here, so if anyone still has the problem or are Plex newbies like me, they can save a bunch of time. For now, I am a happy camper and even caught a lucky one day Lifetime PlexPass deal for $88. 
Hope this helps!! :
