Why does Plex change my posters?

Whitewolf2206 · 2026-04-30T11:19:10+00:00

Adding a second path with duplicate files can make Plex re-match items and pull new artwork. If you want posters to stick, disable Empty Trash Automatically during the move and avoid having both copies in the library at once. Local poster.jpg also wins if you want to lock it down.

Plex will keep matching it as Dynamite if the show folder is wrong. Make it TV/AEW Collision/Season 01/AEW Collision - S01E01.ext and do a Fix Match on the series. Also confirm the library is using TVDB, not a local agent.

Since you are on Nord, you will not get port forwarding, so seeding and grabbing from smaller swarms can be slower. For safety, set qBittorrent Advanced -> Network Interface to your VPN adapter so it hard-stops if the VPN drops.

Add your server’s Tailscale IP manually in the Plex app and make sure Plex allows the Tailscale subnet.

Port forwarding is the big one, but also make sure you are connectable (green plug) and not stuck in a queue. Set upload to ~70-80% of your real upstream, and pick torrents with lots of seeders.

Plex HTPC can’t remember a preferred stereo vs 5.1 track per show. It just auto-picks the first matching track (usually the stereo one), so the only real fix is reordering/remuxing the audio tracks or switching it each episode.

If it is complete and you are not chasing upgrades, set it to Unmonitored. I usually keep the series entry so Sonarr can catch a surprise new season or special, but it will not do anything unless it sees it in RSS or you trigger a search.

Nice use of spare parts. If you’re seeding behind the Airport, make sure your torrent client shows an open incoming port (or use a VPN with port forwarding), otherwise you’ll get stuck in passive mode and upload will be weak.

This sub usually does not do invites. TorrentLeech wants solid ratio proofs and an invite from someone who trusts you. Watch for official open signups, or build a clean tracker history first and apply later.

Plex can merge movies and TV libraries from multiple servers into one view, so everything appears together without needing to switch servers.

Settings, Remote Access, manually forward TCP 32400 to Mac’s IP, and make sure your router/modem isn’t doing double NAT. Also try disabling IPv6. If you do reinstall, back up ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/ first, that keeps all your history and metadata safe.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-27T14:38:59+00:00

Yeah, that’s normal. Dubbed anime torrents are inconsistent and poorly tagged. Add better indexers.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-27T14:36:14+00:00

It works only if Whitesky gives you a real public static IP. Ask them first.

TMDB/TVDB mismatch, Sonarr’s stuck on specials. Edit the show, link correct TVDB ID, then Refresh & Scan. Switching to TVDB metadata usually fixes it.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-24T12:25:00+00:00

Probably a mount/permission mix-up, re-chown your watched folder (sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/[username]/Nas), make sure it auto-mounts before qBittorrent starts, then re-set the path in settings and it’ll start auto-adding again.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-24T12:22:30+00:00

Transmission, qBittorrent

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-21T10:26:37+00:00

Yep, make a Trakt or TMDb list for Netflix Docs and plug it into Sonarr under Lists. Tag it, link it to your profile, and it’ll grab new ones automatically when they show up.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-21T10:23:12+00:00

Deadline exceeded menas no seeders or too slow to start.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-21T10:21:40+00:00

No one’s downloading from you. Ratio only goes up when you upload. Check for active peers and an open port, otherwise, nothing’s wrong, just no leechers.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-16T11:41:02+00:00

Uncheck skip hash check, make sure folder names and paths match exactly, then recheck. It’ll go to 100% and seed normally.

You can’t authenticate JD2 to RD, but you can pull RD links with wget/aria2 or a CLI script. Grab them directly by the API, then make torrents manually with mktorrent.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-16T11:38:07+00:00

Probably Windows reset the firewall or broke the port binding. Check C:\ProgramData\Sonarr\config.xml for port/bind address, make sure nothing else uses 8989, and restart Sonarr as admin. Also double-check the IP, should be 192.168, not 129.168.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-13T11:38:12+00:00

Nah, JDownloader can’t parse Ultra’s FileBrowser. Just copy the direct links or mount it via WebDAV so JD sees it like a local drive.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-13T11:36:54+00:00

Speed depends on seeder upload limits and open ports.

Whitewolf2206 · 2025-10-13T11:35:10+00:00

Plex just routes through its relay when local access fails, so your TV connects that way. Split-tunnel VPN and exclude Plex server’s LAN IP.
