Plugin to add CD playback [cdplayer]

[balbuze]

Thank you for your work!
Volumio 4 is official! See Get Started - Volumio
No new plugin will be added to Volumio3!
So write your plugin using this : GitHub - volumio/volumio-plugins-sources-bookworm

• Does the plugin need to build modules or other components? The plugin builds discid. Any workaround suggested so that I don’t have to build it? It’s essential for artwork retrieval.

On Volumio 4, the node module discid is available, no need to compile it. Add it in the package.json
If you really need something else, provide a compiled version for both arch : x86 and armv7l.

Does the plugin install libraries or anything similar (e.g. in /usr/local/lib )? Is the cdplayer_stream.service considered a library?

ok for that. And remove it in uninstall.sh

@matteo.tonini

Does the plugin deletes its plugin folder on a failed install?. It’s not clear to me how the the plugin should take care of the folder cleanup. Is there an example I can look at?

When you unstall the plugin, check if everything is removed in /data/plugins/…/yourplugin

@matteo.tonini

How hard is the migration, many changes expected or minor adjustments?

For most of plugins, this just package.json adjustement. See the readme Get Started - Volumio
And for sure, this Plugin system overview | Volumio Developers Documentation and Plugin Submission Checklist | Volumio Developers Documentation

Last point, update the version in package.json, each time you submit and send a PR.
Thank you
