Plug-in installation

If I download a plug-in for Volumio in .zip format, do I copy the .zip file directly in the plug-in directory or do I need to unzip it first?

2

You need to unzip it first unfortunately.
Here is a sample of how you could do from ssh. Goes without saying, replace volspotconnect2 with the plugin you want to install!

wget https://github.com/balbuze/volumio-plugins/raw/master/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotconnect2.zip
mkdir ./volspotconnect2
miniunzip volspotconnect2.zip -d ./volspotconnect2
cd ./volspotconnect2
volumio plugin install

After the unzip command I get the message:

Cannot open volparametriceq.zip or volparametriceq.zip.zip

I checked and rechecked the filename and it is correct?
If I download the same file to my pc I can unzip it without a problem?

I run the latest install of Volumio x86, do I need to install unzip?

Volumio has miniunzip installed by default, so you don’t need to install unzip.

This should work:

cd ~
wget https://github.com/balbuze/volumio-plugins/raw/master/plugins/audio_interface/volparametriceq/volparametriceq.zip
mkdir ./volparametriceq
miniunzip volparametriceq.zip -d ./volparametriceq
cd ./volparametriceq
volumio plugin install

It may not work on x86 as ladspa version is compiled for arm in the plugin. Because the Debian package provided in Volumio does not embedded the parametric equaliser

For some reason it does not work. I have now copied the contents of the unzipped file with scp to my Volumio-pc. Plugin installed.
Will try if it works correctly later.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Is there another equaliser that should work?

8

Volsimplequal should be ok

volsimpleequal installed with success, this time no error unzupping either. Are there plans for an equalizer with more settings for the X86 platform?
I would like to see more sliders, for example 40-45-50-Herz.

I upload a new version of volparametriceq with a first support for x86. Need testing if you dare. You’ll be able to select the frequency you want.
Other way :
Brutefir plugin provides a 30 bands equalizer starting with 25,31,40,50,63 hz (1/3 octave) but a bit tricky to use depending your hardware.

YEAH, you are THE MAN! I will try it later this week and let you know! Big thank you!

12

is the filename of volparametriceq the same for the x86 or a different filename?

13

Yep,
Just one file for both version. The install script detect the CPU and install required files.
