This has only started over the past few days or so but now when I add extras to plex it no longer generates thumbnails and it’s just a grey rectangle. Is this a recent bug?

Experienced the same issue adding music videos to my Global Music Videos Folder yesterday. The videos show up in my Music libraries…minus any thumbnails.

It’s the same for me since the upgrade to 1.15.2.793 (coming from 1.14…). Music Videos in the Music Library from before 1.15 have a thumbnail, but everything new I add now just shows a black rectangle.
