You talking about plugins like Shout cast etc..?
Downgrade it to older 3.3 firmware version if you want those plugins. New firmware I don't know why they got rid of them ?

Just use Open _Telenet_FTP/3.0.0 to upload whatever you wish to your box manually

## How to create new Plugin or just change existing Plugin

Here is the source code for the Open_Telnet_Ftp_3.0.0 plugin and let the fun begin
It's the same code build by corsario except the preinst file : one line was removed :
# rm -r /var/plug-in/xxx /var/bin /var/keys (this kill the serverlist and any file in these 3 folders)


- Just unzip the SourceCode file
- or unpack the plugin (ipk file) in 3 steps :
tar -zxvf plugin.ipk
tar -zxvf control.tar.gz
tar -zxvf data.tar.gz

## The package contains :
# the control file
# the debian-binary file
# the pre-install script that you want to be executed before installation
# the post-install script that you want to be executed after installation
# the data files of the application (files to add in the 3 directories : /var/xxx, /var/bin, /var/keys)

#########################
# add your own scripts / apps
########################

#Create the control.tar.gz file :
Creat a temporary folder
Copy the files control, postinst and preinst into this temporary folder
tar -cvzf control.tar.gz * (this will creat the control.tar.gz)

#Create the data.tar.gz file :
Creat another temporary folder
Copy the data and script files (the /var folder contents) to this temporary folder
tar -cvzf data.tar.gz * (this will creat the data.tar.gz)

#Create the ipk file :
Creat another temporary folder
Copy the files control.tar.gz , data.tar.gz and debian-binary to this temporary folder
tar -cvzf data.tar.gz * (this will creat the data.tar.gz)

tar -cvzf Open_Telnet_Ftp_3.0.0_sh4.ipk data.tar.gz control.tar.gz debian-binary
