The way LMS handles plugins is quite complex, and is not my expertise either.
So when you build a plugin it is just a zip file and usually contains a perl script that runs on the server web page(s) that allows you to interact with the script. There are a few more supporting files that you may or may not need depending upon how complex the plugin is. There is also an xml file which contains values to verify that the plugin you installed is valid. If the plugin needs to save data this is saved to a preference folder and in this case that is /usr/share/InguzEQ. IT security on Linux uses a principal known as least privilege, which means there are limits on where folders can be created, who they can be created by and who can access them. Which is why getting the above folder setup is tricky. In the case of InguzEQ plugin there is is an additional program that needs to be installed, and this is what I am referring to as the executable called InguzDSP (on windows it is InguzDSP.exe and this is where the term executable comes from) it also needs to be installed with a configuration file InguzDSP.dll.config. InguzDSP is what does all the processing, it takes a file stream and applies mathematical formulae to it and then outputs the updated stream. This needs to be done fast, hence the program is compiled and optimised for the environment that it runs in, and this is what makes packaging tricky because it is difficult to write an installer which will install the correct version of the InguzDSP into the correct place on any given environment. >From what you have said it looks like you have put the InguzDSP program in the correct place. Have you run sudo chmod 777 InguzDSP in that folder? It also looks like you have created the usr/share/InguzEQ correctly. So in theory all you should need to do is start your player - navigate to the EQ settings page Home -> Extras -> EQ Then restart your server And it should in theory work. I will post some shots of the folders on my Linux machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116119 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
