In the interest of transparency, can we have the name of the " new primary metadata source for images" which is referred to in this article? [image] Movie artwork updates Announcements We have started rolling out a change which will affect the default poster artwork we us…

Is this why I have been having issues with one of my Nvidia Shield servers? It’s been asking me to update libraries to generic titles and then the match feature has nothing inside when I click on it. It’s only until I change the agent back to TVDB or something like that where I get the option to mat…
