I have noticed that the latest Plex beta for Android (Plex for Android 10.9.0.5600-beta) has broken replexhero artwork on the home screen?

Nvidia Shield client

Same happened to my Samsung TV and a friends Hisense TV, it looks like a regular poster crammed into Hero Style.

Yup that's exactly what it looks like,

Any word on this @lostb1t ?

Was thinking it might have something to do with the new Plex Rental that's getting pushed out.

lets wait and see if other clients are affected aswell. i also dont own any if those devices so cannot test

If people are adventurous you can play with client profiles here: https://github.com/lostb1t/replex/blob/a5dc266588739be2a03728669ab988d263168d19/src/transform.rs#L509 (specific device profiles are defined a few lines below)

just clone the repo and run cargo run from the command line (install rust ofcourse)

REPLEX_HOST=http://myplex:32400 RUST_LOG="info,replex=debug" cargo run

for easier testing you could then tunnel the instance with something like https://github.com/robbie-cahill/tunnelmole-client (it will give you a url to access the replex dev instance, for example: https://evgtkh-ip-49-145-166-122.tunnelmole.net) use that url in the custom domain field in your plex instead if your replex url and your clients will connect to the dev version

I doubt that very much - the 1.32.7 beta had an issue that caused a 500 internal server error, we made them aware and they acknowledged it, rolled it out anyway and then fixed it in 1.32.8 :)

FWIW I could reproduce the issue on my Sony TV - I had the "opposite" of this problem where the banner/hero image was being crammed into the poster fields too - I noticed this if I had more than one of each library type pinned (i.e. "Movies" and "Kids Movies") to home and both had the hero set, seemed it would cause some issues.

k i fixed this as good as its gonna get. If anyone can test it out, let me know.

Thanks @lostb1t 🥳 Can confirm the latest release 0.20.2 resolves the issue for Android, Roku, and Web.
