Adding plugin to frontend

Hello you guys,

I've had a lot of problems while trying to compile the myththello plugin and
i solved it by writiing the ful path to each of the libraries mythhello
needed.
Now i have a new problem, I can't seem to be able to add the plugin that
I've compiled to the frontend.

I've tried to add the following:

<button>
<type>HELLO_MYTH</type>
<text>Hello Myth</text>
<action>PLUGIN mythhello</action>
</button>

To the "/usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml" but whenever i
launch the frontend i don't see any button there.

Am I altering the right files, Is the tutorial outdated on Building Plugins
HelloMyth <http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Building_Plugins:HelloMyth>

Best Regards,
Zacarias Benta

Zacarias:

This seems messed up. What distribution are you on and how did you
install MythTV? Can you make sure that your myth installation isn't
finding a copy of mainmenu.xml somewhere else?

Also, I assume that you exited mythfrontend and reloaded after you
changed the file.

George

OK. I assumed you checked for additional versions of mainmenu.xml and
that you restarted.

Can you run mythfrontend from a terminal and post the output? What
you will need to do is start mythfrontend, and navigate to the menu
page where your plugin should be located and look for relevant output
that indicates what is going on.
