Some posters are not loading

Server Version#: 4.108.0
Player Version#:
Friends. Help me, please. I installed a new plex server and it started scanning the library. In some series and movies posters are not loaded. When I click on the pencil to correct the data, then in the group “poster” I see several different posters. I click on any of them, but it is in the general list of movies and series nothing changes. How can I solve the problem? Installed a new server on a similar problem on the old server.

Can you please grab the server logs (settings - server - troubleshooting (lower left) - Download Logs) ?

It will give you a ZIP file

Please attach it here.

I’ll look to see if there are any obvious errors happening.

After that, I’ll ask you (you can provide now if you wish), a few samples of your filenames exactly as you have them.

(Two servers are unlikely to have the same problem. Two servers, sharing the same media files, it’s likely a problem with naming , structures, or permissions )

Plex Media Server Logs_2023-08-20_01-45-08.zip (7.3 MB)
I’m attaching a zip log

From.S02/From.S02E01.1080p.rus.LostFilm.TV.mkv
If I understand you correctly, it looks like this is the name of the folder and the file itself. As far as I can see, all information except the poster is loaded, that is, there are actors, description of the series and soundtrack is played

Thanks for the ZIP. There are no file system / permission errors.
I think your problem, knowing it happens to two servers, AND what I see in your logs, – is structure and naming.

This is incorrect.

Plex standard for the series “From” would be:

From/
  Season 02/
    From - S02E01 - optional_title_here.ext

As example, Here is series “The Rookie”

You must be very careful doing this. Recommendation is to NOT do it because the scanner will often group them together in something you don’t expect.

I have each movie separated

[chuck@lizum ~.1998]$ movie Vinci
===== /glock/media/movies/The Da Vinci Detective (2006) [480p]/The Da Vinci Detective (2006) [480p].mkv (1277 MB) ======
===== /glock/media/uhd/The Da Vinci Code (2006)/The Da Vinci Code (2006).mkv 
[chuck@lizum ~.1999]$ movie Demons
===== /glock/media/uhd/Angels & Demons (2009)/Angels & Demons (2009).mkv 
[chuck@lizum ~.2000]$ 

Here you can see I get all the posters without any problems.

If you need help with renaming rules so you can use a renaming tool to help you, I will share what I have.

I did as you recommended, but the result is the same.

@yaaol

after changing the naming and structure, did you?

  1. Scan Files
  2. Refresh All Metadata ?

Question: Did you use ' or " in your names or is that your command line showing them?

Yes. Updated both the metadata and scanned the files.
’ and " is both in the title of episodes of shows that display poster and not.
I can’t figure out why there are ’ and "

There should not be any ' or " in the actual names.

Try it this way? find will not add quotes

I now understand why you’re getting the names you are.
" is because there exists a ' in the title.

there is possibly a DB problem.

Have you used my tool to attempt DB cleanup ?

I took advantage of your tool. No results yet. Now I will try to check the problem with ’

Corrected the title of the entire series library. The problem remains. There are series with and without ’ and ". Are there any other solutions?
