Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
What's the workflow creating a zip from git for manual installation? That really depends on how you've organized your files. I basically do zip -r9 MyPlugin-1.2.3.zip MyPlugin That's it. Sure, I have script which would then create the checksum etc. upload stuff etc. But that is my workflow, not THE workflow. Not all files from the git repo land into the zip. And then sometimes the zip s get restructured E.g. on the LocalPlayer Plugin the binary locations get reorganized. That really is up to the plugin author. My repository usually is pretty much what ends up in the plugin archive. There might be some helper files which don't get packaged. But I try to be able to simply checkout a plugin repository to the Plugins folder and fire LMS up. E.g. The LocalPlayer plugin supplies it's own binaries. Where do you folks keep the sources respectively recipes to build them?? I havn't seen anything on the LocalPlayer plugin over at the community plugin github page that refers to binary sources. For squeezelite there's a repository maintained by Ralphy. You should get in touch with him. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
Yep. That works now. As a matter of fact I had a messed up situations because I was copying my changes over the original installed LocalPlayer plugin, which was locate under ./cache/... I found some dead config bodies in the related config files. No surprise it all had to be wiped out. However. Disabling the plugin >> updating the plugin code >> restarting the server >> enabling the updated plugin seems to work for me. Can't we write all that down somewhere? Anyhow. I have another question. (Slightly off topic) What's the workflow creating a zip from git for manual installation? Not all files from the git repo land into the zip. And then sometimes the zip s get restructured E.g. on the LocalPlayer Plugin the binary locations get reorganized. Ah binaries!?!?? ( Sorry for being slightly off topic here once more, it still affects the github handling and packaging of my updated and manually installed plugin) E.g.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
It all wasn't that easy. I am working on changes to the LocalPlayer Plugin (introducing aarch64) btw. I figured I had to wipe the prefs/cache/db directory under /var/lib/lms, basically starting lms from scratch, to get going. Well... no, that wasn't necessary. All you'd have to do is uninstall the plugin using LMS' plugin manager, restart LMS, extract the plugin, restart LMS again. The problem is, and I've written this many times before: don't mess with the plugin manager's folders in the cache folder. If you do so, you'll feel the urge to wipe everything, because it's not easy to get out of the mess you create by messing with those folders :-). FWIW: I'm doing this all the time. Most of my plugins actually are symlinks to a git clone folder put in the Plugins folder. By adding/removing the links I can quickly add/remove plugins during development. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

One more comment. It all wasn't that easy. I am working on changes to the LocalPlayer Plugin (introducing aarch64) btw. I figured I had to wipe the prefs/cache/db directory under /var/lib/lms, basically starting lms from scratch, to get going. Having done that wipe, the plugin stored under /usr/share/lms/Plugins was automatically recognized and enabled at initial start.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
Thx Michael. That's exactly how it works on my LMS8.0 RPiOS64 (Debian) installation. "Settings/Information" shows "/usr/share/lms/Plugins" as plugin location. Putting the unzipped plugin dir-structure and content there will load the plugin after LMS restart. The $LMSHOME/Plugins dir didn't exist. It had to be created. All folders/files had to be configured with the right $LMSUSER ownership. What I found a bit odd is that the manually installed and loaded plugins doesn't show up in the "./cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins" folder. It works anyway. I havn't tested yet what happens if you install a 3PPlugin from the LMS repo which has the same name as the manually installed plugin. That might happen if you work on enhancements/corrections on an existing plugin.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
I figured out how I can install the Denon AVP Plugin with mostly the graphical interface of Ubuntu 18.04. This will certainly also work for other plugins that can no longer be found in the online repositories: Before installing the LMS onto a blank system I created a new user "squeezeboxserver" in the Ubuntu Settings-Details-Users section and assigned a password. I then switched to the just generated user and installed the logitech media server according to this guide: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package Thereafter I pulled the plugin from the google archive: https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/denonavpcontrol/DenonAvpControl_1_9_2.zip I was now able to unzip, extract the whole folder to the path "/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins". After a restart of the LMS "sudo service logitechmediaserver stop", "sudo service logitechmediaserver start" the plugin showed up as active in the LMS web interface settings "Plugins" tab. I could now safely return to my default Ubuntu user. LMS and the plugin will automatically start up after a re-boot, logging in to the "squeezeboxserver" account is not necessary.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
I'm sure there must be an easier way, but I have clearly been labouring under either old information or misapprehension about how to do this. I thought that one was meant to copy the zip to /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins, and unzip it there, expecting LMS to copy it all to /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/Installed/Plugins and delete the version in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins. It seems I was wrong. The plugin stays installed in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins, which I believe is incorrect. No, that's perfect. Check Settings/Information for the plugins folders. Pick the one ending in Plugins, BUT not the one in the cache. Unzip the plugin to that folder, so you end up with Plugins/WhateverPlugin/Plugin.pm and all the oder sub-folders and files. If in doubt start LMS with server.plugins set to debug. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Is that wrong? After plugin manager was installed - user were discouraged from doing manual plugins as usually they messed them up such as accidentlally install a plugin in Slim/Plugin - as the name seems to be the same. The "top level " Plugins directory is not touched. The Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins directory may be deleted (it is in Cache) so I think you are mixed up which "Plugins" directory. The cotents of Cache/DownloadedPlugins is also transient - it is where plugin manager will download a plugin "package" from repository before installing it. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108414 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
The Installed/Plugins directory is used by the "extension" plugin which is the plugin manager and I cant remember the workign but it will dedlete and install plugins in this directory - so do not use for manually installed. The LMS subdirectory Plugins (usually at same level as convert.conf) and is for manual installed user plugins. The LMS subdirectory Slim/Plugin is to be only used by LMS bundled plugins - *no* manually installed user plugins. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108414 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
As a precaution against third party websites becoming unavailable I downloaded the plugin zips I use most often (using lms_extensions.xml as the source of the urls). I then thought I should try and install a plugin manually, just to ensure I know how. I have previously gone through a rather convoluted process using a local apache web server, copying parts of lms_extensions.xml to my own repo list, changing the plugin url to a local one, and then adding the local repo to the plugins page. I'm sure there must be an easier way, but I have clearly been labouring under either old information or misapprehension about how to do this. I thought that one was meant to copy the zip to /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins, and unzip it there, expecting LMS to copy it all to /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/Installed/Plugins and delete the version in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins. It seems I was wrong. The plugin stays installed in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins, which I believe is incorrect. I've searched this forum but failed to find instructions. Can someone help me? What is the correct procedure for manually install a plugin zip? LMS 7.9.1 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 17.10, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Touch & EDO. 2nd Touch standard.
