I’m starting up a scanner/plugin pair development project for Plex, but the recommended documentation sources wiki.plexapp.com and dev.plexapp.com are both unreachable sites. Is 3rd
party development for Plex Media Server dead?

There is no more official support for the Python plugin development framework.
Existing Python agents/scanners will continue working but I would not recommend developing new functionality for this framework. It is end-of-life, not maintained and will not remain part of PMS indefinitely.
If you wish to continue then I would just recommend using existing projects on Github, etc. for reference and/or speak to the community contributors of these projects.
Is there something specific you wish to achieve? Maybe it’s something you could submit as a feature request? I would be interested in knowing what you have in mind for future improvements to PMS.
Maybe! I’m trying to fix ZeroQI’s youtube video scanning and metadata plugins so that I access my growing youtube video library that already has over 1000 videos. I managed to make some small hacky fixes, but I really want to figure out how to set up a workable development and test environment for plugins so that I create a proper pull request with fixes.
Based on the resonse, I guess youtube metadata integrationfor Plex is a no-go.
The response you’re referring to is approx. 1 year old and referring specifically to the Python plugin development framework.
