The plugin uses the generic INPUT.Bar mode which provides details on

In general exit LEFT moves one level

For 7.0, you would need to use use:
play.hold = menu_Plugins::Scanner::Plugin
However, there is no version of the plugin for SC7 yet.
If you are using 6.5 then the mapping you have should work, I'm not
seeing anything that suggests you have the plugin working correctly by
navigating directly
I'll post a 7.0 version of the plugin later tonight.
Great! Another missing plugin to cross off my list. I'll try it out tomorrow.
