Plex Movie agent missing TMBD posters

I reported the same issue with the movie Notorious that also seemed to have all art removed. I was given instructions on how to add my own art manually as the fix. When I asked why all art is unavailable since that’s not how the DMCA takedowns worked in the past (and DMCA can’t just blanket “no art ever allowed” per title), I got no response.

And as you’ve seen it removes all art, not just the posters.

My assumption is that Plex is no longer removing only the offending art but blocking all art for titles with DMCA flags because it’s easier for them to do that than keep up with it.

So now, for any titles with DMCA take downs, admins will need to manually manage artwork instead of having the automated art feature Plex was kinda built around - it’s a regression for sure. This actually hits their own Plex Movies and TV service as well so Notorious there has no poster or background art either, which seems counter productive to their own service.

I’d love for this to be a bug though and for it to be fixed.
