@Rat, @Mick,
I'm currently working on the dw panel getting 3rd party plugin data/details from an xml file similar to Linuxsat-support addon panel so this xml file has to be hosted either on digitalworldz or satelliteworldz server as an .xml file.
Mick, i've just asked John to upload a test .xml file to satelliteworldz server but he said it wouldn't accept it and it had to be zipped instead.
Mick, could you look into this to see if you can possibly allow xml file format - even just for testing purposes for time being?
The xml file is the heart of it as the dw panel will use the xml file to retrieve list of plugins and their actual URL on the server.
This means adding 3rd party plugins will be done by means of this xml file specifying plugin name, which menu sub section and URL to actual .ipk file.
Also Mick, I'm not sure yet but i'm guessing that the URL will need to be URL of actual ipk file rather than the current method of using a (seemingly) random URL. For example, Rat's picon updater v1.2 ipk file URL is
rather than
If it needs to be the true actual URL is that something you could possibly sort (ie by showing it's true location - even if only limited few (ie admin) can see this?
Attached is example of xml file I wish to use for testing purposes. It currently has links to direct URLs to linux-sat ipk files and once I can get it working I'll then see if it likes URLs that DW use.
