Annoying, but since the metadata is there, there’s not much to do except wait for a fix. Sadly the link @sven-7 gave is pass-members only. Kind of dumb for transparency to stick your bug tracking behind a paywall.
@Pyrii – sorry about that! Essentially, the issue is known and well documented by this point, but we have no word on a fix and when it is coming. The last version of Plex where the metadata worked properly was 1.2.7 – anything after that it’s broken…
I’m sorry but I don’t understand how this is Plex bug. If I use Plex Series Scanner with TVDB agent then it fetches thumbnails properly. Or do you mean that there is some problem with the integration between HAMA and recent versions of Plex?
Hi again @ZeroQI .
So i now tested it with the collection, here are the results:
543/823 shows loaded metadata + poster correctly.
The remaining 280 shows did not load metadata + poster.
Maybe AniDB ban because too many requests? 
Thanks for your work, I really appreciate it.
EDIT:
If there are a lot of shows and you get banned at AniDB you can somehow still match some of them manually, it will load metadata + poster regardless of your ban.

Plex changed some structure, which causes metadata to load from an incorrect directory. It didn’t affect their default scanners and agents, but a lot of third party ones such as ASS and HAMA.
Sorry if this is off-topic, but anyone knows how to make the scanner detect Code Geass correctly? I have 2 folders named “Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion” and “Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2” inside a main folder named “Code Geass”. The scanner detects it as only the first season with each episode having 2 versions (the second version is the episode with same number in the second season).
Some screenshots to clarify the situation:

@MElroumi Please post on the scanner thread: http://forums.plex.tv/discussion/113967/absolute-series-scanner-for-anime-mainly#latest
Please follow the readme troubleshooting section: https://github.com/ZeroQI/Absolute-Series-Scanner
Grouping folders need to be added as root folders normally
1.2.7 have no season poster or ep screenshot issues with the same scanner, hence plex issue
@IBNB ERROR (logkit/Error:22) - Not an XML file, AniDB banned possibly, result: ‘Banned’. Please notice the Banned error.
Question for you guys on JMM…when it inserts the resolution it always does it “1920x1080” for example is there an easy way for it to only insert “1080” or “1080p”? or will I have to write a “do replace” command for each possible variant?
is there any way to bypass this ban?
I now started the scan after 1 day again, he loaded 15 shows and was banned again…
maybe manually match them instead of auto?

@chrno - It looks like JMM is now named Shoko as of last month! Anyway, I was trying to find the guide on what variables are available to the renaming script, but looks like the page has gone missing since they changed their name/website (there is a link in the JMM client that had “Help with Scripting”, but that now just redirects to main Shoko page. I’m trying to ask in their discord server if the guide still exists somewhere.
Yeah I noticed the name change and that the link just redirects to the home page, kinda annoying. So thought Id try my luck and ask if either of you 2 knew. Its not a train smash currently I just do a mass rename after JMM/Shoko has done its thing. Its easy enough or I could just write do replace commands but that wouldn’t account for those weird resolutions.
@chrno - OK so after talking to someone on discord, it apparently uses the same variable naming as WebAOM. So I think this is what you are looking for.
http://wiki.anidb.net/w/WebAOM#Tags
edit: must be a dev… he said there is also a %vdh (vertical height) variable they have added, but I think it still isn’t quite what you are looking for. (maybe if you just add “p” to the end of the %vdh variable, it might be close?)
@deusxanime Ill take a look. Thanks
@chrno Just wanted to be sure you saw my edit above as there is an additional variable they added that is not part of normal webaom which might or might not help. Good luck!
@deusxanime Didn’t see it, but thanks I will play around with it after I grab some dinner. It certainly sounds promising
@chrno Yeah after talking some more with him on discord it might actually work for you. On a 1280x720 file it would just give you “720” I think, then just add the “p” in the script and you have what you want. Now if you need it to do fuzzy naming, like how a 1920x800 movie is usually considered 1080p (rather than 800§ which is what %vdh would give you), then that would be more complicated and require some programming logic to check values.
@deusxanime Im not that fussed about 1080p vs 800p like your example. I just find having the full length resolution can cause the name to get a bit lengthy when you have “series name” + “episode number” + “episode name” + all the technical stuff (HEVC, dual audio, sub group, ect)
Some more examples they just pasted in chat. Lots of good info if you talk directly to the devs. =)
// Video Resolution
IF U(4320) DO ADD ' (4320p'
IF U(2160) DO ADD ' (2160p'
IF U(1080) DO ADD ' (1080p'
IF U(720) DO ADD ' (720p'
IF U(576) DO ADD ' (576p'
IF U(480) DO ADD ' (480p'
IF U(360) DO ADD ' (360p'
IF U(240) DO ADD ' (240p'
IF U(!4320);U(!2160);U(!1080);U(!720);U(!576);U(!480);U(!360);U(!240) DO ADD ' (%res'
Also if you want it to be more fuzzy or use a range, use something like this:
IF U(>1000);U(<1100) DO ADD ' 1080p'@deusxanime wow thanks again. Seems like I have to get over my dislike of discord and install it again
Yeah I understand about long names… I use “Series Name - Ep ## (Source Res Hi10P, LANG CHANNELS) [Group] [CRC].mkv” and that can get long!
As for discord, I’m just in web browser, never used the app before. Any good compared to just using browser?
I know, I mainly used your and modified to my naming preference so it got even longer Although I have some sub groups I still need to add to shorten them. I am about half way through my downloads folder then I will tackle my main folder on my 2 plex servers. Get all the naming in the same standard so to speak.
Dunno what other differences their are as I haven’t really used the web browser much. When I used it, I swapped to the application as the browser and gaming at the same time didn’t play nice. But having Teamspeak, Mumble, Curse and discord…along with all the other crap I run got a bit much and some stuff had to give way. Curse basically had the same functionality + the added bonus of being able to update my WoW addons so I kept that over discord.
