Hi, I asked similar questions earlier. This is the link: [For organizing files, need some help!](https://forums.plex.tv/t/for-organizing-files-need-some-help/671588) I got some answer from you guys about how to arrange the folders, and I also tried to do that. However, it seems like if I want to arrange all the videos under each year. It is not possible unless I made very large effort to achieve that. So I am thinking of developing a new scanner for my situation. I have done some research that the current scanners were written by pyhon and it is at “/volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/Plug-ins-6c22540d5/Scanners.bundle/Contents/Resources/Movies” so I want to know if I write a new scanner and put in this folder, I can use it right? Thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/develop-a-custom-scanner-for-libraries/672703)._
