I had to correct a couple titles for bad matches, but I knew about these troublesome TV shows as they always fail.Choose the appropriate option when you're prompted to sign in to your Plex account. Eventually everything was automatically matched. I pointed it to my 2 media libraries, and everything showed up with the generic grey box with the 'tag' icon in the middle. I uninstalled PMS from the Plex Pass channel, downloaded the stable version from the public channel, and installed it that way.

Not sure which version of PMS, but it was in mid December on Windows 10 (Pro) with the Fall Creators Update. Out of curiosity, when did you last reinstall? On Windows 10? Since November or so, or before that? Unless they've changed it very recently, it doesn't keep metadata when you uninstall PMS. I did a re-install before, and it had to generate all of the posters and metadata from scratch. No I didn't custom select them, but what if all the ones that do show up only do so because they were generated by older Plex versions, and because of an apparent bug/incompatibility with recent Plex versions aren't and won't be generated anymore? When I point the reinstalled (and possibly bugged) Plex to the existing folders, it will see the files and I'll be able to play them, but won't get ANY posters, just generic icons, ugh.

Maybe someone on AVforums would know something, though.

Trying to get support of any kind on the Plex forums is futile-I'll die of old age before getting any answers there. No I didn't custom select them, but what if all the ones that do show up only do so because they were generated by older Plex versions, but because of an apparent bug/incompatibility with recent Plex versions aren't and won't be generated anymore? When I point the reinstalled (and possibly bugged) Plex to the existing folders, it will see the files and I'll be able to play them, but won't get ANY posters, just generic icons, ugh. So you're not permanently losing them, unless they were all custom ones you selected? While true, it's also kind of not true: when you re-install PMS and then point it at your media library, it should automatically generate all of the posters anyways. Is that what you're asking?Īt this point I think maybe just uninstalling and re-installing might fix it, but if I do I might lose all_ of the thumbnails (or I guess officially they're 'posters' in Plexspeak), which is not a pleasant prospect. I mean, I'm signed into the Plex Media Server locally of course, because you don't really have a choice there, right (if you want local streaming, you have to sign in on the phone/tablet/Roku/whatever)? But I'm not usually signed into the site. But I didn't think Plex used the GPU by default for transcoding anyway, Sosei You may have something there. The only other change I can think of (besides the Windows 10 Fall Creators update) is that I replaced my GTX 970 card with a GTX 1080. Started using the HDD in question under Windows 10 back toward the end of April last year. Proof thereof would be that the media folder in question has remained on the same drive it's always been on, and thumbnails were generated fine until just a couple months ago, tops. Nope, it's a standard spinning rust WD hard drive that (I'm fairly certain) I formatted as an NTFS one. That's a known issue - it only supports NTFS. Also, you didn't put your media on a ReFS partition, did you?
