Plex media server unable to select/find posters for show episodes

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
,
1

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7210 (docker)
Player Version#: 1.71.1.3888-b32ecaf8

I have an issue where all my old shows all work just fine but every new show added will not show any episode posters (and I cannot manually select from a list without uploading them). All other metadata is correct: Episode description, season poster/show poster, directors etc…
It does not matter in which library I add the show, it happens to both regular tv shows and anime.

I have the following agent settings:
Shows:
TheTVDB:
- local media (on)
- TheTVDB (on)
- Plex theme music (on)
- fanarttv (on)

Rematching and removing/cleanbundles/re-add does not change a thing

I can provide logs if necessary.

I fixed this issue by checking the logs better.

You can check whether you have the same issue by searching for the following error in your Plex Media Server log:

  • … .bundle/Contents/_combined/posters": Permission denied

The metadata storage for plex had permission issues (I don’t know how and why since it always writes with the right puid).
To fix it I ran recursive chown with puid 1000 and guid 1000 (the user plex runs at).
(chown -R 1000:1000)
