How to Install Plugins

[stav8124]

I haven't used my TM800HD for ages and cannot remember how to install plugins via ftp. Can i please have pointers to remember how to install them.

put the IPK into tmp and install via software management
should be the same as a DB ?

be careful what you try to install though mate

there isnt a software management on the tm800hd

found this via search, hope its helps

download the plugin you want, google maps works

FTP it to your receiver, place it in the /tmp folder

open a telnet window

login to the receiver by typing telnet and the receivers IP, example

telnet 192.168.1.7

user is root, password is blank unless you have set your own (blank as in no password, not the word blank )

now type the following, press enter after each line

cd tmp
ipkg install name-of-plugin.ipk

so for google maps, itd be

ipkg install gmaps.ipk

once its installed, on the remote, press the blue button twice, then exit, then go into the plugins menu, and youll find them

if you go back through one of my old ppanel posts, theres a panel that will do all the work for you, i think it was the last version i uploaded, or the one before that

you can also ftp the ipk to /tmp, then in telnet, type

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

this will install ALL ipk files in the /tmp folder at once
