My first custom scanner

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hi all,

 

I copied the  "Plex Photo Scanner" I found in the scanners.bundle to the Scanners/Photos folder. It works.

 

Code contains :

  PhotoFiles.Scan(path, files, mediaList, subdirs, root)

 

Now I want to modify it to scan both videos and photos. So I found this code in another scanner:

 

  VideoFiles.Scan(path, files2, mediaList, subdirs, root) but i cant use it

 

 

 

Where can I find more info on "PhotoFiles" and "Videofiles"?

Where can I read up on creating scanners?

 

best

Jesper

I have difficulties to find anything to help to develop any scanner and agent for pled.

I am interested in doing something to get files into folder, subfolder, : photo AND videos, in one library.

thank for any tips
