Quod Libet plugins not recognized

I have Quod Libet working nicely, except that plugins don't appear in the plugins window. I created the ~/.quodlibet/plugins directory (it wasn't there initially, which I found strange) and put some plugin scripts from the Quod Libet site in there. I don't think it's a permissions problem, as I have temporarily chmod 777'd the plugin directory and files. Still doesn't work. I just copied the scripts from the Quod Libet site and put each in their own files (filename.py). Seems pretty straightforward, but no luck. Anyone else experience this?

Re: Quod Libet plugins not recognized

I don't know if you did, but you can't directly download the plugins from the quodlibet site. You have to click on the plugin and then copy the python code and paste is in your favourite text editor and save it as ~/quodlibet/plugin/filename.py
i believe the correct filename, the filename used on the quodlibet site needs to be used.

hope this works.

Re: Quod Libet plugins not recognized

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was doing initially -- no luck. "No plugins found." I've filed the problem with the Quod Libet developers, but the fact that no other Arch users seem to have run into this problem makes it all the more puzzling.

Frustrating as the plugins are my main reason for wanting to use Quod Libet -- without them, it is a bit useless for my purposes  :?

Re: Quod Libet plugins not recognized

maybe a stupid question but does your plugin dir has the right permissions and owner?

Yes I'm pretty sure, it's drwxr-xr-x owned by my primary user. I tried chmod 777 on both the directory and the plugin python files themselves, just in case. Same result.

Re: Quod Libet plugins not recognized

I think the problem might have something to do with the fact that I had no ~/.quodlibet/plugins directory to start with. It seems like other Arch users have this directory with the default pacman install, or at least have a file that can be replaced with a directory. Since it was a binary install, I don't see why I never got this folder and other people did.

Re: Quod Libet plugins not recognized

Ok I'm officially an idiot. I was pasting the files into nano without the -w flag, so comments were being wrapped to newlines causing syntax errors. Clearly my fault, sorry for the confusion!

Re: Quod Libet plugins not recognized

well the arch package of quodlibet doesn't create your ~/quodlibet dir, it is created the first time you start quodlibet, you can also savely remove it.
if have put two of my quodlibet plugins online (they depend on each other)
