Server Version#: 1.41.9.9961 Player Version#: 4.148.0 (Web); 4.147.1 (local); 7.36.15 Roku I’ve been seeing Season specific backgrounds showing up lately and I don’t remember this really kicking in until recently. When I went to check on it I found that they are loading even when nothing’s been se…

Same issue here as well. Currently on Version 1.42.1.10060

Came here to see if this had already been reported, glad to see it’s at least been acknowledged. I upgraded a couple of days ago after the security patch and came across this very annoying issue myself. Hope to see this sorted out soon.

[image] Manujito: Hope to see this sorted out soon. Yeah - once you notice it, it kinda gets more and more obvious; luckily just a cosmetic annoyance rather than a functionality issue. I’m sure it’ll get fixed; I’m hoping the slower releases lately for the server are for better stability and…

Latest Media Server beta - 1.42.2.10102 - does not have a fix for this bug. BigWheel said it’s reported so it’ll get fixed eventually so just wanted to reference for others that this update doesn’t do it.

It still isn’t fixed in the new beta? [image] Plex Media Server Announcements Plex Media Server 1.42.2.10102 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel. NEW: (Playback) Better caching of codec testing to improve start time of playback se…

Feel like at this point 2 months and 4 public release server updates is quite a long time to wait for a regression like this one (didn’t count the release that was already in active beta when this was reported). Kinda atypical of Plex where server side things were usually addressed quickly. Maybe it…

So we’re past 3 months for a regression error … but Plex Server updates also seem to be going slower. It’d be really nice to get this fixed because some shows have some really not great art as backgrounds and it’s really annoying each time I keep seeing art I didn’t pick showing up on my media serv…

Agreed, this is honestly kinda crazy. This problem’s been happening for me since your first post, and I really can’t believe how little we’ve heard/seen from Plex since. It seems like such a simple bug, too.

Here’s another good example of why this bug is annoying. Season 3 of Star Wars Visions is using the poorly chosen Season 2 referenced background because the default SHOW background is that background. [Screenshot 2025-10-29 at 10.05.10] I can change the show background but it won’t impact the se…
