Plugin Issues

[amey01]

I've done a search for "Plugin not recognised" but found nothing.

I've downloaded the "FileViewer" plugin, but it is not being recognised by SlimServer. I've put it into the "Plugins" directory as both the .PM file and also in its own folder to no avail. Windows XP / SlimServer 6.5.4 (Downloaded yesterday).

Thanks in advance!

Shut down SlimServer and run "slim.exe --d_plugins" from a command window.
Do you see anything in the output regarding the plugin?

For a start, thanks for writing the plugin! It's fantastic, and has worked faultlessly on every server I've used!

Here's what that command says about the FileViewer plugin:

2007-11-11 20:29:27.1677 Requiring Plugins::FileViewer plugin.
2007-11-11 20:29:27.4353 Can't load Plugins::FileViewer for Plugins menu: Undefi
ned subroutine &Plugins::FileViewer::getDisplayName called at /<C:\Program Files


In case the entire output of that command is necessary, here it is:

It looks as if the file was stored in the Plugins folder, but it should be
Plugins/FileViewer/Plugin.pm. Please verify upper/lowercase, too.

Will do - THANKS!

[amey01]

Done. Fixed. Thanks!

I can't believe I was so stupid. Thanks. And thanks for writing a great plugin!
