Custom Scanners

Where is the correct location to place custom scanners for local media so that builtin scanners are not overwritten?



I am having some problems where only first episode in multiple episode filename is match.

Already updated ticket: https://plexapp.lighthouseapp.com/projects/14382-plex/tickets/836



I would like to try some new regex for episodes and I believe this is the file i will need to start messing with:

“~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media ServerPlug-ins/Scanners.bundle/Contents/Resources/Series/Plex\ Series\ Scanner.py”



I would like to just copy and rename, so I dont overwrite what is built in, but not sure about your new layout.

Take a copy of the Scanners.bundle in its original shape and put it on the desktop. Then open up the Scanners.bundle which is in the original place and open up the info.plist and add a key called PlexPluginDevMode with a value of “1”. That should prevent your altered Scanners.bundle to be overwritten.

I think you can also put a scanner (not in a bundle) into ~/L/AS/PMS/Scanners, and it shouldn’t be overwritten. (Keep a backup to be safe.)
