Cortex media add-ons location

Hi all,

I’ve compiled a media add on for Cortex (the IP Camera) - where do I add the compiled add-on so it shows up in the list inside Cortex?

Thank you!

~/config/non-packaged/add-ons/media (or the system-wide counter part: /system/non-packaged/add-ons/media).

In general, you place custom things under non-packaged following the same dir structure you see under the read-only parts of /system/.

You might need to Restart media services (from the Media preflet) before Cortex sees it.

The “IP Camera” addon isn’t specifically an addon for Cortex, either; it’s just a generic media add-on. I think you can configure it as a default video source in Media preferences, without Cortex being needed?

Why is it not included in Haiku?
