[SOLVED] v35 Android Mythfrontend menu issue

Post by chicobiker »

I updated to v35 yesterday on my Nvidia shield pro. All went well but I now am seeing menus for plulgins which I do not have installed. Menu items other than my normal Watch Recordings and Watch Videos are Listen to Music, Listen to Radio Station, Images, Play Games. I looked in synaptic package manager and no plugins are installed nor did I select any. I am using mythbuntu 33.2 theme. I realize this may just be the new normal behavior but thought I would at least mention it.

The Android build now includes the plugins where before they were not available on Android.

We do not have a way of installing add-on packages in Android the way we can with Linux, the plugins are either in the package or not.

If this is a problem we can build a package without plugins.

Thanks for your reply Peter. Not a problem for me, just unexpected is all.

Could this be what is causing the issue I'm seeing on my FireCubes/Stick?
