Squeezebox Server Plugins

To add more functions to the Squeezebox Server, Logitech provides a lot of plugins which you can install. You can also add 3rd party plugins to your SBS. They are not officially from Logitech but some of them are really good. My favorite plugin is the Youtube Plugin. With this one you can search for songs on youtube play it on your box. Because the plugin is as good, I think I will make an own article about it. :-)

The plugins can be installed in the Settings of the Squeezebox Server in the Tab Plugins. To activate 3rd party plugins from the squeezebox community you need to scroll down to the bottom, tick the checkbox (accept the security warning) and apply it to the server.
Maybe you also have to restart the server, I don't remember exactly. But at least after this reboot, all available 3rd party plugins should be listed. Infos and support for 3rd party plugins can only be found in the Squeezebox Forum.

There is also a possibility to add 3rd party plugins from a user defined repositorie.
