Manual installation of LMS plugins

To manually install an LMS plugin hosted on GitHub:

• Go to LMS > Settings > Plugins and uninstall the currently installed version of the plugin, if applicable.

• Download the latest GitHub version of the plugin by clicking on the green Code button and download the zip archive.

• Go to LMS > Settings > Information. Near the bottom of the page you'll find the paths for Plugin Folders and the Preferences Folder.
  The Plugins folder you want for manual installation should be the in the Preferences Folder folder, i.e. the Preferences Folder path followed by /Plugins.
  This folder path should also be listed under Plugin Folders.
  
  Examples of LMS plugin folder paths for manual installation of plugins (no guarantees):

  • piCorePlayer: /usr/local/slimserver/Plugins
  • macOS: /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Squeezebox/Plugins
  • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Squeezebox\server\Plugins

• Extract the downloaded archive and move the folder (named after the plugin) to the correct LMS folder for plugins.

• Restart LMS.
  
  
  

Manual uninstallation

• Delete the plugin from your local plugin folder (see installation).
• Restart LMS.
  
  
  

Manual installation means no (automatic) updates

If you install a plugin manually, you'll have to update it yourself by manually uninstalling the old version and then installing the new one.
Manually installed plugins are not (automatically) updated by LMS.
