A looooooooong time ago I struggled with what you are experiencing now. I came to the conclusion that the only way to fully control my artwork was to include it alongside my movies and tv series.

Its certainly a bit of work and can seem daunting for mid/large libraries but once done it works perfectly and you’ll never look back. I just took it as a couple of movies each day and before I knew it I was done. Both [https://theposterdb.com](https://theposterdb.com) and [https://mediux.pro](https://mediux.pro) have amazing artwork contributors.

BTW… if you ever manually selected a poster in the plex UI then they maybe considered locked. To fix this use this procedure [Reset all manual poster selections in a library at once or unlock other metadata fields](https://forums.plex.tv/t/reset-all-manual-poster-selections-in-a-library-at-once-or-unlock-other-metadata-fields/764732). I however, fully rebuilt my library once I completed this work as I did not want to risk any bad data in my db.

Anyhow, food for thought!
