How can I make Plex Media Manager show a pretty name for my scanner?

I've named the file plex_games_scanner.py, and this is all that's shown in any dropdown or interface that lists custom scanners.

 

For the metadata agent, I seem to be able to set the name via "name = 'something'" in the agent class, and it will use that. Is there something similar for scanner plugins? I've checked through those that I can find on github, but either no one there knows or hasn't bothered to try.

There’s not, it just uses the filename of the scanner (minus the extension). Just name it “Plex Games Scanner.py” and you should be good to go.
