Option to scan for missing artwork across libraries?

Is there a way to auto scan and download missing artwork at the library level as opposed to individual items?

I'm anal when it comes to artwork, especially thumbs. Lately new movies and shows tend to not have full artwork yet like thumbs and banners, sometimes I'll create my own thumbs if the media has a good image and logo ready and add it to TVDb/TMDb, or I'll wait for a bit until something gets released. In the case of the latter, I'll often forget about it and those movies/shows get lost in the mix. Rather than trying to track down the media I've forgotten to update, can I run a scan that auto-downloads missing artwork across all media?

I know it sounds super obsessive, but I just hate when I start something new and the thumb on the main screen is whatever the background image is with the title typed on it. I always have to stop and fix it before watching it haha.

Refresh metadata "Search for Missing" should do exactly that.

I completely forgot that was an option. Testing now
