Android plugin install

./mythbuild.sh --plugins doesn't appear to be working.

There is a typo here :-

https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/blob/master/android/mythbuild.sh#L274

for i in
$MYTHINSTALLROOT/lib/libmythpluginmyth{archive,netvision,news,browser,game,music}.so
\

should be

for i in
$MYTHINSTALLROOT/lib/libmyth{archive,netvision,news,browser,game,music}.so \

that gets the plugin .so's added to the apk but the plugin menu items
still don't show which would mean either the .so can't be found by the
frontend or they are failing to load for some reason. How do I see the
frontend.log to try to debug this?

A better fix is to add

android {
# to discriminate plugins in a flat directory structure
TARGET = mythplugin$${TARGET}
}

to the various plugin .pro files so they get renamed in a similar way to
the filters?

This is a good change. Or just rename the files on deploy.

Both should work.
