I believe setting plex to use `Local Files Only` then relies on a `cover.jpg` to exist at the album level, as they are LOCAL. If you have embedded your artwork into the files themselves then that will have **no impact**.

If they are embedded artwork (tagged into your music files) then you should have `Prefer local metadata` enabled. If not then I would enable that and force refresh which should fix it. [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) might be needed but unlikely in this situation.

Your screenshot could also mean they are unmatched so if after you checked the above an example and/or screenshot of how the files are named on disk would be helpful to debug.
