How to install plugins

Asked by Narcis Garcia

I need to make batch moovida installations, and I'm looking for a way to leave functional installations where the user can explore directly contents such as in Jamendo or YouTube.

I've only found the "moovida-packagers" repository to install the main application and some (empty?) plugin sets, but don't find the way to enable sources as mentioned in www.moovida.com/plugins

Different PPA?

Check Moovida's plugin repository at http://plugins.moovida.com/. It lists all the latest versions of the officially approved plugins. Those are .egg files that you can drop in the user's $HOME/.moovida/plugins/ directory.

Note that the plugin sets that you mention are not empty, they are the base plugins needed by Moovida to run (-good and -bad are mandatory, -ugly implements some additional functionality).

Then I can perform these console/script actions to install automatically the plugins:

mkdir -p $HOME/.moovida/plugins
cd $HOME/.moovida/plugins
wget -O /tmp/egg1.htm http://plugins.moovida.com/
cat /tmp/egg1.htm | grep "href" | grep "\.egg">/tmp/egg2.html
wget --force-html -i /tmp/egg2.html
rm /tmp/egg1.html
rm /tmp/egg2.html

Thanks Olivier Tilloy, that solved my question.

Yes, that would do it.
Note that you may want to select only relevant plugins. Some of them are windows-only (they won't hurt though, they'll just be ignored at startup), some may offer inappropriate or undesired content, ...

Which are MSWindows-only? Why?

You can inspect http://plugins.moovida.com/plugin_list?elisa_version=1.0.9 to get more information about the available plugins (JSON syntax). Most of them are cross platform (in which case the "platforms" attribute is set to "UNKNOWN"). Some are platform-specific because they implement platform-specific features (e.g. "GNOME desktop integration services") or they provide binary codecs compiled for a specific platform (e.g. "GStreamer additional media codecs").

Can you help with this problem?
