TV Posters are not being retrieved for some shows

Server Version#: 1.21.4.4079
Player Version#: Web player

I’m having the issue of one of my shows is refusing to download/show the TV poster. However it correctly retrieves the staff metadata including pictures. It only started doing this recently after I reimported my library (due to another plex bug with renaming files I ran into). It looks the same as this old issue that was never resolved: Meta Data downloading but not posters.

Note: This is not the same as the TVDB search bug where you have to enter the TVDB ID manually to match. It matches fine in TVDB, it just doesn’t download the poster for some reason. Even if I manually enter the TVDB id.

Whenever I try to rematch the series, I get these errors:

However I get no errors at all if I just select “refresh metadata”.

I’ve check many things, permissions are all correct and unchanged from the default installation.

I think I had this same problem a couple weeks ago, and it somehow just “fixed itself” after a while.

Any ideas what’s going on?

Just bumping. I’m still having this issue. Is there any way to fix it?
