Hi everyone, I’m trying to solve an issue with missing images. What’s the problem We have a category with posts that contain video URLs (PeerTube instance). The JSON contained "image_url" : .... We switched to another PeerTube instance and replaced all the old URLs in the posts with the new ones. …

We have found the problem. It was highly likely due to a custom plugin that extracted the thumbnail, but it has stopped working. Sorry for the long useless post. (I can’t edit my own posts because … reasons.)

[image] UnheardBatting317: Do we have to do something on the PeerTube instance (is there some setting like “allow thumbnail scraping” or something like this? IDK PeerTube, just spitballing here) That’s my guess.

Suddenly "image_url" : null in category JSON files

That’s my guess.
