Sudden Broken Images on Mobile Browser and Mobile App

OS: Debian 13
Version 4.9.3.0 Docker Compose

I'm experiencing broken images on my phone, on both browser and app. Metadata is saved locally with the video files, I've verified the poster.jpg's are local and permissions are correct. Everything looks fine on Desktop. When I update an image, it then appears just fine on mobile. It seems to be trying to scale down the images, but can't find them on Amazon (instead of looking locally) and it fails to resize, so the image becomes broken? It seems very random which files are broken, but for movies specifically it's a lot of the A/B/C movies, then a random few movies here and there.

Hi, in this example the server had two images pointing to image urls, and those urls turned out to be invalid. What normally happens in this situation is initially it is a url, then the server downloads it on first usage, and then from there on out it is served locally.

Do you know what those media-amazon.com urls are from? I don't recognize them.

That imgur image, that's from one of the "Live TV" shows. So now I think thoseAmazon URLs are for LiveTV and not actually Movies or TV. Sorry I pointed you in the wrong direction here.

I see Better Off Ted in the logs, that is one that wasn't working until I re-downloaded. Whats odd is that Poster isn't showing up in the main view, but all the other assets are like Logo and Thumb and Backgrounds. However when I go to "Edit Images" I can see the Poster just fine.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

Thanks!

That first embyserver.txt is when I first noticed it. I just checked from a completely different network and it looks the same. Here's the current log.
