Is there any documentation out there on plug-in / scanner development for plex NINE? [http://dev.plexapp.com/](http://dev.plexapp.com/) seems to all be for plex .8   
  
  
  
I have tried starting a few times, but without docs I am somewhat at a loss…

nothing official yet, nope. UTSL.  
  
  
  
for metadata agent examples: [http://github.com/plexinc-agents](http://github.com/plexinc-agents)  
  
  
  
scanners: [http://github.com/plexinc-plugins/Scanners.bundle](http://github.com/plexinc-plugins/Scanners.bundle)  
  
(note that scanners are not full plugins, just simple python scripts, they dont use the framework like plugins and agents do)  
  
  
  
and of course the plugin framework itself can be found in ~/library/app support/pms/plugins/framework.bundle  
  
  
  
for regular plugins (not agents or scanners) there are only a handfull of api changes between framework versions 1 and 2, a lot of what is in the old docs will still apply.

see here for a quick summary of v2 changes as they affect standard plugins (agents and scanners are entirely new and not documented at all yet): [http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php?/topic/18324-updating-plugins-to-v2-framework/](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php?/topic/18324-updating-plugins-to-v2-framework/)
