I'm still a bit puzzled. What is the answer to my original question? Where should I extract a plugin zip file to if I want (or need) to install one manually? Could I put the extract, or even just the zip, in .../cache/DownloadedPlugins? As I understand it you have changed your folder structure - I haven't, so I'm looking at /var/lib/squeezeboxserver and folders within that.
I admit I am pondering what happens in the event of LMS armageddon, where there is no internet support, or some plugin websites are no longer supported, but I still need to be able to be able to install LMS from scratch if I have to.
