SOLVED: EKG/Soundwave replaces poster and background

[pyrusmole]

This only seems to have happened to certain movies (so far). After some time, the images for a movie will be replaced by the weird EKG/Soundwave picture that you see below. I haven't been able to determine any root cause but it only looks like it effects certain movies. Refreshing the metadata will only temporarily fix the issue. Same with uploading my own images. After a period of time, they just break.

   

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can you share your server log with us?

I think I may have solved this. I looked at the logs and found the following

It looked like it was the result of Jellyfin not having write permissions in the external hardrive I was using. After I rectified that, the error hasn't occurred again. If it resurfaces I'll reopen this thread or do a new one
