A notice posted today on the Plex forum.

Important information regarding TV artwork in Plex

This is almost certainly going to affect anyone still using Plex under the legacy FreeNAS UI. As plugins were no longer being updated, I believe the last Plex version was 1.12.2.4929 under FreeNAS 11.1.

If you're an active Plex user, maybe it's time to think about upgrading to FreeNAS 11.2 and the latest version of Plex.
