Hi,

I just started using Plex (Version 1.12.0.4829).  
I have created a Photos library and pointed it to my photos collection.  
All the photos are now visible in Plex, however, for some folders, Plex has added a default folder poster, but not for all folders.  
As all my photos are stored by year/month/day I have a lot of folders.  
Is there way to make Plex add a random photo as the poster photo for each folder?

Thanks  
Ian

I have the same problem. Plex Server 1.12.3.4973. My photos library has several folders with a ‘poster’ (thumbnail image) that plex randomly picked. And then there are some folders with no poster. This occurs in multiple clients, including the web app. I have tried re-scanning, optimizing the database, analyzing, refreshing all metadata… with no success.
