### Emby Plugin

I also included a plugin I did for myself for Emby a while ago. To install it just copy the `Emby.FolderIconCreator.dll` file that is in the folder and copy it in your `%appdata%\Emby-Server\plugins` and restart the server. Options are in the server interface.

The plugins does some thing a little bit differently because of the architecture requirement for it (.netstandard 2.0). But it still uses win32 calls, so I wouldn't try on a Linux server.

That plugin will be launched whenever a poster image is downloaded or changed. In your Library make sure that you have enabled the option _Save artwork into media folders_, so that the poster files are saved next to the video files.

It support Season posters also that aren't placed in the season folder, but inside the root show folder. it will copy the corresponding poster inside the season folder.

It also as an option that the exe doesn't have and that is change the date of folder to the latest video file. So that way you can have a folder that contains an existing TV series and if you have your windows grouped by date whenever a new episode arrives that folder will pop to the top.
