I might be a little OCD about all this, but sometimes when I browse my Plex I notice that Plex changes the artwork of my film collection. This is quite annoying.

Is there an option to tick somewhere to restrict Plex from doing this?

    I’ve had this happen, but only when Plex has reason to think the file for the movie has changed. File date changes and name changes can prompt that. Is there any chance something like that is happening to trigger the metadata updates?

      keep in mind that sometimes Sonarr/Radarr will update/refresh files in the background when they find newer copies that better match your set file parameters. IE, if you have a download profile which accepts both x264 and x265-encoded files but prefers x265, it may download the x264 when first available and then a x265 copy when it become available later. or a Dolby 2.1 audio version initially and a Dolby Atmos copy later when it finds one.

      this is compounded if your run Checkrr and it finds/replaces corrupted media files.

      All this can happen (and does) in the background and can explain unexpected library updates.
