Where are the files and caches to get rid of in order to use new artwork for my plugin? I heard about issues with ‘sticky’ thumbs but I am talking about the ‘big’ artwork - the ‘art’ parameter of the MediaContainer object.  
  
I changed mine and after it did not show up, deleted everything related to the name of my plugin from the ‘Plug-in Support’ sub-folder of my ‘Plex Media Server’ folder under ~/Library - Plex still persistently displays the old artwork that is not existing anywhere anymore. What did I overlook?  
  
TIA and Cheers,

Try deleting the content of ~/Library/Application Support/Plex/userdata/Thumbnails/Plex Media Server then quit plex and restart, it'll take a little longer to start as it regenerate all the thumbs and artworks

Thanks Pierre,  
Yep - that did it. I just delete the 'Fanart' folder underneath ~/Library/Application Support/Plex/userdata/Thumbnails/Plex Media Server as I just wanted my artwork refreshed.  
Thanks again and Cheers,
