Well I managed to get it to spit this out: Could not open /etc/slimserver-strings.txt for writing: Permission denied I'm running slimserver on Gentoo linux, using the official gentoo package. Slim::Utils::Prefs::preferencesPath() returns /etc slimserver does not have permission to create a file in /etc This behaviour is correct. The problem is that your plugin is wrongly assuming it can create and modify a file in preferencesPath(), which in my setup (and probably other linux setups) it can't. When I manually created /etc/slimserver-strings.txt and gave slimserver permission to alter it, the plugin started working as expected for built-in strings (the server's still ignoring the custom strings for plugins, but at least /etc/slimserver-strings.txt contains the requested modifications). I'd suggest adding an error message in the web interface that explains the problem and suggests manually creating the file. Or at least modify the installation instructions to mention this problem.
