By default the plugins will store the menu and playlist configurations in the playlist directory. To see where it is stored, check the directory parameters configured in each plugin section in SqueezeCenter Settings To be 100% sure, I wouldn't delete the directories, I would just shutdown SqueezeCenter and move each plugin directory somewhere else and then startup SqueezeCenter again and download them through Extension Downloader. This way you can always go back to the previous situation by moving back the plugin directories to "Plugins" again. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
