Plugin Manager G2 VST v0.2.3

What is new in 0.2.3: zips you put in local-plugins/ are now listed, and can be installed, with no network. If the catalog cannot be reached the manager says so in a small warning and still shows your local zips and what is installed. (Called the OpenMPC Plugin Manager VST; the zip and plugin names still say "G2".)

Browse the OpenMPC catalog and install, update and remove plugins on the MPC itself, with rollback; for Gen1 and Gen2.

Requirements

• A first-generation MPC OS standalone device (32-bit ARM, like the Force, MPC Live / Live II, One, X and Key 61).
  The installer refuses anything else. Newer models are untested.
• Root shell access (SSH) to the device. Stock MPC OS doesn't offer this; you need a modded unit.
• Tested on MPC OS with a Force. Installing plugins this way is unofficial: back up first, use at your own risk.

Install (scripted)

1. Unzip, then copy the whole folder to the device, e.g. scp -r Plugin-Manager-G2-0.2.3 root@<device-ip>:/tmp/
2. Run it: ssh root@<device-ip> sh /tmp/Plugin-Manager-G2-0.2.3/install.sh

The installer checks the device, stops MPC (save your project first), copies portable/OpenMPC - VST - Plugin Manager G2/ (the plugin, its skin
and its data, as one folder) into /sdcard/Synths, backs up MPC.settings, adds the plugin to MPC's plugin list from the
folder's plugin-meta.xml and starts MPC again. Running it again upgrades in place, keeping your own files.
An older install of this plugin (the previous layout, with the .so in /sdcard/vst) is replaced, not duplicated.
-y skips the confirmation prompt; -t <folder> installs into another Synths folder (for example on a card).

Then add Plugin Manager G2 to a track from the plugin browser (Instrument plugins). Its screen appears in the plugin view,
and the Q-Links follow the page.

Full instructions, including installing by hand, are in INSTALL.md inside the zip.
