Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

If you look at your library it shows you what they currently use and you can even set which you want as default.
So the easiest way to find out, would be to check that way
This is specifically for the posters that are used for icons tho. And it does say it's a new source not just shuffling the default
yeah, can't say that this is the case. Since the Metadata Agent would be responsible for requesting and adding metadata to your library items it would be set to the Official Plex Metadata Agents, since this is specifically for Movie Artworks, this would then only apply to the Plex Movie Metadata Agent.
But nowhere is any mention of where that metadata is coming from. Since I already wrote my own Metadata Agent and have some experience with it I know that the metadata is coming from watch.plex.tv as the metadata aggregator. I also know that movie-related Metadata is coming from TheMovieDB or IMDB.
You can specifically define that you want metadata from any of the sources if your "force match" the related source through the
{tvdb-110381}on your folders. But not in the agent settings itself.For TV Shows this is somewhat different because you can specifically select the Episode ordering to either TVDB or TMDB. By default, and from my tests, everything is coming from TheMovieDB unless otherwise specified.
I am curious where you did see that...
But, again, the point is to make this more clear what the origin is because I have had multiple instances in which I had to do some detective work telling a user where that incorrect metadata is coming from because all they see is some wrong metadata in their library that someone maliciously changed on on TVDB, IMDB or TMDB.
