Posters often automatically choose wrong aspect ratio

When Plex chooses posters for my movies, it often seems to default to a wide image from the database, cutting off titles, faces, etc., instead of opting for the tall format image that’s right next to it.

I’ve gone in before and manually reset the images to the proper format, but over time (server reinstall, probably) for some reason those changes have been lost. So I have lots of images that once again need to be updated for every movie.

It really seems like, when choosing images from the database, Plex should pick the first image that’s the right aspect ratio if there is one.

Is there any solution here vs. just editing every movie manually and choosing the correctly formatted posters?

Are you talking about this?
