Is there a standard procedure for installing a plug in. I am using the open pli image. using Dcc I ftp the plug in to the Vu+ duo ok.Then using telnet doesent see the file

well it depends what extension it is. if ipk, u should ftp the file to /tmp and then use telnet and the command is



ipkg install /tmp/*.ipk

ipkg install /tmp/*ipk
How do I know if it is ipk the plug in is a tar.gz

ok had a look for you and this is what i got




1) install dream-explorer plugin from downloads (it will appear in plugins list and under "blue button" list as well)
2) place package (.tar.gz or .ipk) in your box (wherever you want: /tmp, hdd, usb, network mount)
3) run dream-explorer, browse to location where you put package to install, choose package > install
//it'll take few seconds, you'll see on-screen what's going on and if the package was installed correctly

why cant you install by ftp to temp and then use filebrowser function - go to temp and then click on item and use install function -

thanks for the help but dream explorer had no command to install in the menu .Filebrowser wouldnt install either. Changed image to dream elite

you have to select the file then press ok button this brings up the option to install whatever the plugin is called, worked fine for me yesterday.
