This directory collects a few other channel plugins.

  * Contents: plugins
  * Status: **beta**
  * Some are going to be outdated, and a few are just idea collections.

You can basically install any of them by copying the `*.py` file into:

  * The global installation path `/usr/share/streamtuner2/channels/`

  * Your local plugin `~/.config/streamtuner2/plugins/`  

  * Or package them even into the PYZ application:  
    
        zip streamtuner2.pyz channels/new.py

The new [User Plugin Manager](technote/489b041520c3365146538c6e5f92fef4835fabcc) easily installs them.

It scans this directory indirectly via:

  * [http://fossil.include-once.org/repo.json/streamtuner2/contrib/*.py](http://fossil.include-once.org/repo.json/streamtuner2/contrib/*.py)

Which generates a JSON list of available modules. For instance:

        "$type": "x-py",
        "$dist": "app/streamtuner2/contrib",
