The latest beta version of 7.3 includes functionality to simplify the installation of plugins for SqueezeCenter and applets/wallpapers/sounds on jive. I'm posting here to make 7.3 users aware and hopefully try it out and also to encourage plugin authors to publish their plugins in the repository format used.
The installer appears in the Advanced Settings section of SqueezeCenter as "Extension Downloader". At the top of this page is a list of repositories (defaults to empty). In here you can enter the repositories urls from your favorite plugin/applet authors. This will result in their plugins being listed on the lower section of the page, from where you can select them for installation, see the currently installed plugins and if there are upgrades available. At present you need to restart the server after installing a plugin, but it should take the pain away of finding the relavent plugin and where to install it. Peter Watkins has started a wiki page for plugin authors to post their plugin repos: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenter_Repositories (thanks Peter). Please try out Peter's plugins and those of other plugin authors which get added here soon (hopefull). [The only thing I will say is that this mechanism results in code being automatically installed on your server, so please verify that you trust the repo source provided on the wiki page i.e. you know the author from their posting here.] -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54805 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
