Greetings, I would like to develop a simple plugin for a Windows server that would enable Plex to search in a specific folder for posters. In \_thumbs folder in this case.

C:/Movies  
----\_thumbs  
--------Movie1.jpg  
--------Movie2.jpg  
----Movie1.mkv  
----Movie2.mkv

I haven’t done any Plex development before. Could someone point me in the right direction where to start or some examples I could chew on?

Thank you,
