Help installing plugin from zip

Please post the complete output of ls -al for the folder containing the files extracted from the zip file you have downloaded.

Meanwhile a shot in the dark: Check if there is a zip file in the folder into which the downloaded zip file has been extracted. It should not be there and I guess it would let fail “volumio plugin install”.

Another shot in the dark: According to this https://github.com/Saiyato/volumio-snapcast-plugin/issues/49 running npm i in the plugin directory before installing the plugin might help.

@gvolt - Not really a shot in the dark - your plugin is missing the npm packages - you will need the run npm install in your install.sh or pre package them into the zip file for install via the command line tool. Also - volumio plugin package does this for you already.

Thanks for the hint! :blush:

On my GitHub repo I had removed the zip file some time ago as I had the impression (actually I think I read it somewhere here on the forum, but can’t remember reliably…) that we were discouraged to publish pre packaged zip files - maybe I misunderstood or had a memory failure on my side :wink:

I have already created a pull request for the plugin (https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/pull/188) a long time ago, but approval is still pending…

Hi balbuze

I’m new to volumio and pi, but have just set up a pi with digione and volumio to send to my rega dac-r. I’d like to add the volparametriceq you created, but really don’t understand how to do it. Do I unzip the zip file and add the contents to the sd card? Is there then an option to select volumio plugin install in the volumio app, or am I needing to run that somewhere else?

Thanks

Instructions are here…

Thanks for that Lalashok. I have enabled ssh and tried to obtain the zip to install the plugin with the details, but an error comes up when trying to connect to github:

Had to delete the / and . off the github address as i’m a new user and only allowed 2 links, but left the full address on the first bit to show what i had entered

copy past instruction from the repo. With no typo it should be better :wink:

Hi balbueze

I typed the following as per the instruction that gave me that error in connecting to github.

wget https://github.com/balbueze/volumio-plugins/raw/master/plugins/audio_interface/volparametriceq/volparametriceq.zip

Im assuming the above is correct with no typo and it won’t let me copy and paste onto the putty command page. Am I missing something here :man_shrugging:t3::laughing:

Thanks

Your url is wrong - try copy pasting it directly into a browser - you get a 404 error. (as you see in your last attempt)

The correct url is balbuze not balbueze

:man_facepalming:t2: sorry for unintentionally renaming you balbuze :rofl:

Thanks for your help guys. Got there in the end lol

For future reference, in most terminals (Putty included) - you can hit right-click on your mouse to paste stuff in. If you are on Win10, you don’t need Putty any longer, and it (finally!) includes a native ssh client. Try searching for it :wink:

That’s great! Thanks for the advice :raised_hands:t3::grinning:
