Plex's Photo transcoder is used throughout the service to serve images at specified sizes.

Endpoint: /photo/:/transcode

Known Request Params:

width
height
opacity - 0-100
background - hex color
format - png, jpg
blur - Zero to very large values, larger values take longer to render
minSize - 0,1 - images are always scaled proportionally. A value of '1' in minSize will make the smaller native dimension the dimension resized against.
upscale - 0,1 - allow images to be resized beyond native dimensions.
url - path to image within Plex

Example Request from Plex Media Server.log:

/photo/:/transcode?width=110&height=165&minSize=1&url=%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F398%2Fthumb%2F1494993051%3FX-Plex-Token%3Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
