Lots of points - I'll try to explain what I think is happening. There are 3 significant files as part of AlienBBC plugin.
If the install.xml file is processed then there will be an entry for AlienBBC in the Setting/Advanced/Plugins - it will be enabled and have a Setting link. If AlienBBC Plugin.pm has *not* been processed - there will be no AlienBBC entry in Setting/Advanced. Also if you click on the "Settings" link you will get a "404" message. An install.xml file will be processed as long as it is in any directory in server/Plugins or server/Slim/Plugin. It does not have to be in the "correct" directory to be processed. If strings.txt has not been processed then the entry for AlienBBC in the Setting/Advanced/Plugins will be called "PLUGIN_ALIENBBC" If strings.txt has been processed the entry will be called "Alien BBC". A strings.txt file will be processed as long as it is in any directory in server/Plugins or server/Slim/Plugin. It does not have to be in the "correct" directory to be processed. If the AlienBBC Plugin.pm is processed then you will get an AlienBBC entry in Settings/Advanced. You should also get AlienBBC menu on main web interface, RTSP entries in Settings/Advanced/FileTypes and a plugin.alienbbc entry in Settings/Advanced/Logging. The AlienBBC Plugin.pm has to be in the server/Plugins/Alien directory. Since the symptoms on your systems are as follows: - AlienBBC entry on Setting/Advanced/Plugins is called "Alien BBC" - this means strings.txt has been processed at some point. The strings info is cached in strings.bin - There is an AlienBBC entry in Setting/Advanced/Plugins and no AlienBBC entry on Setting/Advanced. This mean AlienBBC's install.xml has been processed at some point. The install.xml info has been cached in plugin-data.yaml. - There are no AlienBBC menu, no AlienBBC entry in Setting/Advanced and I presume no RTSP entries. So the AlienBBC file Plugin.pm was not processed. Since you say you did a normal install and have not moved any AlienBBC file - I assume that AlienBBC files install.xml, strings.txt and Plugin.pm are all in the same directory. If that is the case the likely cause of the problem is that Plugin.pm is not in the right location or cannot be found by SC (e.g. the directory is not on the perl search path @INC) To double check the AlienBBC loading - please do a startuplog with the following settings os.files set to DEBUG os.paths set to DEBUG server set to DEBUG server.plugins set to DEBUG The important message in the log should described what @INC is being used to locate Plugin.pm -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45298 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
