<div dir="auto">Thank you for the info. I did, in fact,
install mythplugins and set a storage group that points to
my music collection and called it “music”, however there are
still no menu options to play it or work with it. The
plug-in seems definitely not enabled. </div>

<p>If the MythMusic plugin is installed and is loading OK then the
menu entries for it will just appear automatically. No other
config is needed other than making sure the Music storage group is
set up, but even if it is not MythMusic will still show in the
menus but will warn you to setup the storage groups before it will
run properly.</p></div></blockquote><div>That's what I recall as well, from the last time I did this in 2009 or so. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>

<p>Are there any errors in the frontend log?</p></div></blockquote><div>I pasted the error below. When I ran the frontend for the first time after installing mythplugins, it gave me a warning that it was upgrading the database schema. I clicked through the warning ... was that the wrong move?

<p>Usually if there are errors in the FE log it means either there
is a version mismatch or a library the plugin depends on is
missing (the Ubuntu packages should have already installed them
automatically though).</p>
