What is new in 0.2.5: tap the storage readout at the top right to choose where new plugins go. With more than one place (the internal drive and an SSD or card, say) it names the drive (CARD · 12.0 GB ▾) and opens an INSTALL TO menu with each drive's free space; the choice is remembered. Fixes: the zip safety checks (unsafe file names, 600 MB limit) now actually run on the MPC (its unzip lacked the option they used, so they passed every zip unread; downloads were still checked against the catalog's SHA-256); reinstalling a plugin that an older installer put on the MPC now updates it where it is instead of making a second copy on the chosen drive; and a stray "N failed" message with garbage text after a successful apply is gone. Tested on a Force (MPC OS 3.9.1) with an internal drive and an SSD. (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-G2-0.2.5 root@<device-ip>:/tmp/
  2. Run it: ssh root@<device-ip> sh /tmp/Plugin-Manager-G2-0.2.5/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.
