Has anyone tried or are currently using PMS as a library to see magazines, ebooks, etc… on a Linux box? If so, did you use any particular plugins? Will this actually work? Can you render a view of the cover or pull any metadata for it?

Just trying to find a good option for this. Have tried others and most recently, cCalibre, but would be cool if I could get Plex to do this as well.
