Coming Soon Show Movies - Recently Added & Newest TV Show Poster/Backgrounds Issue about plex-movie-poster-display

Ok, cool.

I have found the issue and will have it fixed in my next push as well as add an option to set the type (Episode, Season, Series) just like how the Now Playing has that option.

The only thing I can see is when you use TV shows as part of your Coming Soon, the same poster can come up more often then others if you have added multiple episodes as the changes get a lot higher you will hit one of the episodes, but that should not be too big of an issue.

This fix should now be in v2.10.

Give it a go and let me know if its working correctly for you.

[ZeroCoolGOS]

Interesting.

I have not actually tested the other options, so that is my bad.

I will have a look this week and see what is going on.

No worries Geoff, just trying to help. Upon further investigation, the images showing up for Recently Added & Newest are Episode Posters, not TV Show posters.

[ZeroCoolGOS]

Ah. Yes, I see what your saying.

All and Unwatched seem to be working correctly, but when you select Newest or Recently Added then you get the TV show episode art.

I will dig in the logs now and see what I can find.

*** Update ***
I have found out why it's showing the "Episode Poster" when set to Newest or Recently added.
It has to do with the metadata coming back from the API.

Now that I know what the issue is I will work on building a fix for this.

@titelies

When displaying posters for TV shows. Would you always want to use the TV Show proper poster or would you also want the option to set for the "episode poster" or "season poster"?

I would most likely use the TV Show poster but the Season Poster sounds like be a nice option as well. Episode Poster would not work for my particular case cuz my TV is displayed vertically and the Episode posters are horizontal.

Thanks for the TV Show poster info, sounds like I'll be choosing the Season Posters to get some variation. Much appreciated!

[titelies]

Working well in Show Media: Newest and have decided to go with the Seasons Poster... Great idea Geoff!

Interesting. I will have to dig into that more.
