Manual installEdit
Often, plugin ipk files are written for mipsel-based receivers and don't install correctly on the SH4-based STI7162 receivers. However, you can still try to install the plugin as follows:
 * 1) Extract the ipk file using 7 zip, or another programme that can read .ipk files.
 * 2) Use an FTP program to transfer the extracted files to your receiver. This will typically be a directory named /usr. copy this to the root of the receiver to ensure the files go in the correct location.
 * 3) Restart enigma2.
