Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the bug
I cannot get Plex to display thumbnails in the episode video lists for any YouTube "show." When I click the edit icon on a given episode, the thumbnail selected by default is visible in the settings for that episode. Plex cannot display it other than in this settings modal.
Steps To Reproduce
Plex will display show thumbnails in the list of shows, it will not display episode thumbnails in episode lists.
Expected behavior
Plex should show the thumbnail for each episode, since it was obviously collected and is partially accessible.
Relevant log output
Anything else?
Interestingly, while typing this TA grabbed a short from this playlist and Plex has a thumbnail for it- no fuss. This is the first time I've ever seen a thumbnail from the pre-0.5.0 or 0.5.0 branches of TA (it's probably the first short I've downloaded too.)
@lamusmaser commented on GitHub (Mar 19, 2025):
Acknowledged. This will need further review to determine where it is happening. I'll try to get to this when I'm a bit more available.
@Wh1t3Rose commented on GitHub (Oct 19, 2025):
Any updates on this? I am experiencing this issues and other people on reddit are also and this is providing a not-so good experience. IMO. My kid relies on the thumbnails to find episodes to watch easily
@lamusmaser commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2025):
@Wh1t3Rose yours is only the second report I've seen on this issue. Can you provide additional links or context for where this is being reported?
@tayloramurphy commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2025):
@lamusmaser I'm seeing this same behavior. Plex is able to fetch all of the data except the thumbnails it seems. When I edit the episode I see the available thumbnails but even selecting one and saving it does not change the episode preview.
Happy to provide whatever logs may be needed if you could just tell me which one to check / copy. Thank you!
@tayloramurphy commented on GitHub (Jan 17, 2026):
@Wh1t3Rose or @qskwood were you able to find a workaround for this? Frustrating for my kids to figure out what an episode actually is.
@tayloramurphy commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2026):
@qskwood @Wh1t3Rose I've got a fix in #114 - not sure if @lamusmaser will merge it in, but if you make the same code changes on your end it should work.
Note that I had to use the API to remake the library to get plex to see the agent. It seems they've made some changes around agents in the UI.
Screenshot confirming it works! My kids are happy now.
