New plugin for consideration: Player Status LED

[andrewpono]

indicates player state by operating a GPIO LED: play = on, stop = off, pause = blink.

hello
do you need?:

sudo apt-get update
# Install the required packages via apt-get. build-essential is required for epoll onoff depends on.
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential --no-install-recommends

Gpio-xxx plugins work without

[andrewpono]

Yes, I know Gpio-xxx plugins install without the build essentials. However I could not install mine without this step, it fails every time during npm i stage. The error is related to epoll - could not locate make, or something close to it. The solution I used was to just copy epoll to the modules dir, but plugin submission does not work like that. If I knew how to get rid of build essentials I would in a heartbeat. I even thought about getting rid on the onoff module for that reason.

So it fails to submit without it?

[andrewpono]

Yes, if I follow the plugin submission procedure first thing it does during plugin installation step is npm i. This fails like I described, so the process does not go through.

I think now that I have build essential already installed, it will let me submit without that line in the install.sh. Plugin installation from the UI must be somehow different since it works without build essential. Let me know if this is something I need to do.
