Continuing the discussion from Plex Media Server : [image] Plex Media Server Plex Media Server 1.40.1.8111 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel. Oh plex, what have you done :frowning: Upgraded to 1.40.1.8111, ran analyse on my movie library and now all my personal cu…

1.40.1.8120 is now available. It backs out the change that caused poster problems. I installed it on my Synology DS918+. I analyzed individual movies and whole movie and TV show libraries. The movie/show posters did not change. It will not restore posters changed by the 8111 release. The only …

I did add and remove a few other items, but not the affected movies specifically, I was choosing posters on other movies in the same library during this time. I created and removed a couple collections. I know that’s probably not very helpful! I could try harder to reproduce it if that would be us…

So far, the suggestion regarding the off/on of ‘use local assets’ did nothing for me. Strangely enough, if I Edit the record, select the Poster menu and then cancel out - NOT making a new poster selection; a refresh will then fix it. Obviously this isn’t a fix. As it stands right now I have a but…

:scream: :sob: Backup/restore failed (note to self: check backups!!!)… turn off local assests etc failed. I now have 4 huge libraries to manually update. Lesson learnt: always check your backups work by doing test restore change backup schedule to daily (I had monthly to save disk space) turn of…

Pity that did not work :frowning: Did you try the script from @SwiftPanda16 → Server Version 1.40.1.8111 has broken poster/artwork & thumbnails - #26 by SwiftPanda16 There has been a looooooooooooong running problem with plex and posters which I outlined in this post Some Posters not showing up an…

Trying the script now thanks @anon5074910 and @SwiftPanda16 :biting_lip: I’ve been looking through the Plex directory structure and what a mess. Honestly there are files all over the place. I work in SW development and it looks like no-ne ever thought about file locations. Why default backups to pl…

Well, my server’s on windows - the script looked like it was for linux. On the good side, after 3 hours and 3 beers, I had it pretty much cleaned up. It looked like plex only got about a year and a half backwards into my library. I think that’s yet another hint to how plex works (or how it faile…

My plex server is on TrueNAS 13U5.1 plexmediaserver-1.32.8.7639 and the posters are messed up in 25% of the home videos and all the titles are wrong. The latest version available for my OS is 1.40.0.7998 Not sure how to proceed with a fix? Should I wait for 1.40.1.8111 ? Will all my titles and t…

I am running server 1.40.1.8120 and none of the above fixes restore my posters. I don’t have any local assets. However, as the above poster stated about going in to manually update the poster and canceling out and then refreshing metadata, that resolves the issue for that movie. I cannot do that for…

I’ve been trying to find a decent why to “fix” this issue, for the hopefully :crossed_fingers: small amount of users. Right now as I see it, if you do not have local assets (posters stored locally inside same directory as the title’s video file) then this is not really a fix and is just a way to get…
