Plex custom media asset server API?

Create your own metadata agent that calls to your web server to get the image to add to the metadata. I'm not aware of any formal documentation that still exists for creating metadata agents. This archive of dev.plexapp.com might help: https://web.archive.org/web/20150113085312/http://dev.plexapp.com:80/docs/agents/models.html, but you may be stuck with looking at existing agents (like SportScanner.bundle) to see real examples of how to grab images for Plex to use.

I assume you've got the Scanners and SportScanner.bundle folders in the wrong locations. The installation instructions are fairly clear.
