Plex Music Scanner (I want only local Assets) doesn't find Album Arts

yes
image

but that isnt plex naming scheme… gimme a sec

nope… not the problem

i also took a look at the plex support page and I did my file naming exactly like the guide said… all tags are still correct… but sadly no pics for me

and no… pic size also isnt the problem… i just significantly lowered the res, but it didn’t helped

i am out of ideas

I am beginning to think, that plex just really, really hates me

does cover.jpg works for you?

The old scanner is not maintained anymore and will likely disappear in next versions (v1.20?), I would hesitate to rely on it going forward.

You can prevent the new “Plex Music” scanner from looking up any metadata online by blocking a few domains like mbz.plex.tv and acoustid.plex.tv.

And again nope… after a resize to 1200x1200 my arts still wont work.

@certuna not viable for me… I still have Libraries, which heavily rely on Plex’s new scanner for online metadata collection…

I’m using Personal Media Agent - flawlessly.
…for the record.

okay so… i tried 400x400 and it didn’t worked… also… I tried the new Plex music scanner (with hosts blocking) and this also didn’t worked

Translation:
‘so I can fix it and send it back’

:wink:

I’ll send you a link to one of the original ogg artist folders in a private message (art not embedded but instead as cover.jpg)… just gimme a second for that

… and you didn’t put an image of Howlin’ Wolf in the artist window for the snap?

ur slippin, man… oh, wait, that’s what I would have done… carry on…lol

great… perfect.. fantastic.. didn’t worked


I am beginning to think, that my plex is corrupted or something like that

What are your library settings?

already did both (I had a bug, where the database optimize would crash the server… that was like 5 days ago… I did a full database repair)

album art: plex music… are you sure, that it didn’t grabbed the art out of the internet?.. i think 2nd flush is an artist, where online lookup works

Oh god… its a settings problem in the Library… give me a few mins… I am trying to nail it down

Okay wow… I have not Idea what is happening anymore… I used identical Settings like my Original Post… Every single Setting down to the last checkbox… with the legacy scanner… and with the original “bad” folder structure… and with the 2345*2345 album arts… and its working





…why?..

Do you know, what the absolut worst thing is?.. It only works on my Dummy library… after a Plex Dance my real Library still has no Arts…

I’ll let the library finish up completly and come back to tell you, if Plex just needed to finish the scan to show me the arts (that would be new for me… iirc it always showed arts while scanning but hey… anything can happen at this point)

We finally got some Clean Bundles?

I like Guinness and Newcastle Brown - Black and Tan Please…

:wink:
