playback saved to local file? about volumio-plugins

[lachlan-00]

i have taken the last-100 plugin and tried writing to the data folder using fs-extra.

problem is that it crashes the web interface until i disable it.
does a system plugin have extra features over a user plugin?

No, you should check your code better.
Let me see what you've done

I have the plugin creating the txt file on start so I'm nearly there. I just cut out the last 100 i didnt want, then added fs-extra lines.

Here is a zip from the cli

You're doing it wrong.
Use the plugin helper to create a new plugin:

Will do. I'm usually a python person but I'll sit down after work and sort this out.

I give up. i've tried making separate functions and tried to work out how to stop the plugin reloading every time i start if but i can't work out what i'm doing.

the functions run but the web interface resets whenever i enable socket-io. I want to use sockets to get the playing song data but i've tried every existing plugin/get/push/etc and nothing works.

checkCacheruns and then it looks like it crashes at io.connection in checkPlayback.
