Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

I think you might have misread it or miss interpreted interpreted that. I took OP to be musing if PosterDB going down and therefore not being a source of posters has driven Plex to move to a different way of doing it. Not, as I took from your post, that there was some hidden reason for PosterDB going down that's related to Plex.

Might be wrong on all of the above in all fairness but thought it worth a post.

The posterdb was never an automatic source for Plex. They pull from thetvdb/themoviedb. Sometimes there is overlap if someone has uploaded their posters to those sources, but often not.

You have to manually add the posters from the posterdb via link or uploading it to Plex yourself.
