    Why?

    Theposterdb has stated they needed to transition their payment provider, and it didn’t make sense to keep incurring costs until that was complete. The reason is right out in the open.

      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.
