No problem. I did a few, fairly exhaustive, searches with locate using
variations on 'plugin' and probably found all the /plugin/i directories
in my system.

I know about CPAN, but am not really a Perl programmer - I've written a
Spamassassin plugin to pull addresses out of a Postgres database, but
that's about my limit with it.

I normally write C and Java, with awk, bash and php used when suitable.

Not exactly. I'm a bit surprised to see yum and fc27 in the same
command: Fedora replaced yum by dnf about the time it got the ability
to upgrade to the next release in situ - that was around fc20, so about
four years ago. I've been using dnf, yum's replacement, since then. Yum
is still available, but deprecated in Fedora, so maybe that example was
from a Centos or RHEL installation. 

Anyway, I just did a dnf search for packages with 'squeeze' or 'lms' in
the name and only found two relevant ones:

- squeezelite, described as "Headless music player for streaming 
  from Logitech Media Server" 

- nuvola-app-logitech-media-server described as "Integration of
  Logitech Media Server into your Linux desktop via Nuvola Player"

so neither look like anything I want. 

I've not heard of Nuvola Player, but there are a heap of packages for
it in the Fedora repository and the one I quoted is an add-on to the
base Nuvola Player package. Nuvola is described as a 'semi-sandboxed'
(whatever that means) web browser plugin thats capable of working with
a shedload of third party apps (presumably Android or Windows apps),
all the way from 8-track and Sirius XM via Deezer to Spotify, so
probably installing it would drag in more baggage than I want.

Do you have a LMS .repo file for dnf (or yum)? If so, I'd appreciate a
copy. 

If you have one, I'll install and use it because this will automate
updates. Otherwise I'll just grab a suitable RPM file from your site
and unpack/install it manually with the 'rpm -U ...' command.

FWIW .repo files seem to be compatible with dnf, since they still live
in /etc/yum/repos.d
