Plex Movie agent - Directors pictures missing

Server Version#: 1.21.3.4021
Player Version#: 4.51.1

I have upgraded my Movies library to use the Plex Movie Agent and the Plex Movie Scanner. Have also refreshed all metadata.

I’ve noticed that directors pictures which were there already are now missing.

I have several movies from these directors and, as mentioned, their pictures were there before.

Interesting… I see this too. If you look at someone who is credited as a actor and a director the actor avatar appears but director does not, john carpenter is a good example of this as shown in the screenshot below:

Might be best to move this topic under → Metadata & Adding Files - Plex Forum

Indeed

There were never pictures of directors and writers. Only actors.

Yes, there were.

I am sure of that because I used to update missing directors pictures.

Here is one movie where I have not refreshed metadata after changing to Plex Movie

And here is another

Yes, that’s how it is set up

I know. Sorry. Should have said that the Scanner was also Plex Movie

On another note. The new Plex Movie agent and scanner works really well and seems faster than the legacy agent.

Will director’s pictures come back? I think it’s a great feature. And even if they could be displayed in the movie’s main page along with the cast pictures
