![]() In fact, I probably would have opted into new posters across the board. Įither the first or the last option should be the default menu selection.Ĭlosing the prompt should behave like the last option, and reshow the prompt the next time the Plex client application launches. Fine grained controls for which posters to update would have been particularly useful, for example show a menu: If we’re going to override existing posters, then a prompt would have been a more polite way to implement it. That’s important context behind this misbehavior. The changes can be annoying, but in the past it was an advantage when artwork was less quality controlled to get the “good” poster when it updated but now it’s a little different and Plex is handling it very different so maybe the local artwork stuff is the best option for more control if relying on Plex for quality is less reliable.Īh, interesting root cause. I often use PlexDash on my phone to do quick fixes when I notice artwork is off when browsing from TV interface and it’s particularly useful for going through background art in a library conveniently (you can set artwork browsing to the background image and quickly change it that way) - which is what I did recently after that Gracenote change.Īnyways - thought that might help with the artwork stuff. I have about 1000 titles and I mix and match “locking” artwork and not worrying about it - I only get particular about marketing copy or actor names which Gracenote has a LOT of and TMDB\TVDB never allowed so that was most of my “fixing”. There’s ways to automate the local artwork stuff using scripts or apps Dokuro has a pretty robust system if you look around for their posts. Either use local artwork or manually select something and it will stick otherwise it uses the “default” and whatever poster occupies that default slot. What tom80H says is really the only way to “lock” artwork though. ![]() This change with art providers was more dramatic because of it’s sweeping changes (some good, some bad). It was kinda annoying to go back through and fix artwork after that change but if you weren’t setting artwork manually already it always had a potential to change from TMDB user votes on poster artwork which wasn’t often really. You can check some of the linked threads there for some details and solutions to help clean it up - someone posted a script you can run to set all posters to the TMDB default for example. This new source will also make it easier for us to manage our metadata database moving forward. We’ve selected a new primary metadata source for images which should improve the quality of the posters we use, especially for lesser known titles in our metadata catalog. We have started rolling out a change which will affect the default poster artwork we use for movie titles across our entire service, including the “Plex Movie” agent used for personal media inside Plex Media Server. ![]()
