PlayOn Plugin Linux Discussion

If that'll work for 64 and 32 bit it'd be fantastic. PAR was requiring me to create both versions.

Just tried this on my 32 bit Ubuntu 10.4 and it seems to work. Thank you!

Sweet, that's excellent news, guess i'll take it from here.

Everyone thank KJake

Great news KJake! What did you fix? How is this binary different from what evilpenguin had originally?

[tmiranda]

EP,

I'm eager to get this installed on my Linux test machine. Are you going to update the plugin manifests to support Linux or should I roll my own?

Tom

[evilpenguin]

I'll just try and update the offical manifest this week. Although, I'm confused as to how I can make a zip file where the linux file has execute privileges from windows.

I think the answer is that you can't make it executable from Windows because the ZIP format doesn't support it. Only tar and other Linux-friendly programs support changing a files attribute. A Linux guru will have to chime in on this.

Probably the best thing to do is just update the instructions telling Linux users that they have to make the .out file executable. Are you going to package just the 32 bit version since that will run on 64 bit as well as 32 bit systems?

I have an ActiveState PDK9 License and built it with that. I actually didn't look into how to make it work with PP since I had nothing but problems with it in Windows-land. PDK9 added cross-OS compiling, so I can compile for Windows, Linux and MacOS without the extra Business license, which I think adds Solaris, AIX and HP-UX maybe...

tmiranda is correct, zip doesn't store the unix bits that record owner, group, and RWX flags.

does the plugin system let you execute any commands after unzip? 'chmod +x UPnPBrowser.out' would be an example of what you could do.

Nope, but I could easily do that in the STV.

Not to be pushy or anything but..... Any updates

There were some major changes made in the last few days to PlayOn that have negatively affected the functionality of the plugin for any platform. I'm sure EP is working on a fix for the new organization that PlayOn have devised and will probably try to roll-in Linux functionality at the same time (let me know if I need to build a new Linux binary).

[harrijay]

I am just trying to update this plugin on my server so that it is somewhat official, anyway I can get an updated SageTVPluginsDev.xml file? Looks like the one that is posted in this thread is for version 1.55.

Thanks,
Jayson

Any new word on the playon plugin for linux?? I can help too...
thanks!
