2 \chapter{Plugins
}\label{ref:plugins
}
3 Plugins are programs that Rockbox can load and run. Only one plugin can
4 be loaded at a time. Plugins have exclusive control over the user interface.
5 This means you cannot switch back and forth between a plugin and Rockbox. When
6 a plugin is loaded, you need to exit it to return to the Rockbox interface.
7 Most plugins will not interfere with music playback but some of them will stop
8 playback while running. Plugins have the file extension
\fname{.rock
}. Most of
9 them can be started from
\setting{Browse Plugins
} in the
\setting{Main Menu
}.\\
11 Viewer plugins get started automatically by opening an associated file (i.e.
13 \opt{lcd_bitmap
}{, chip8 games
}%
14 ), or from the
\setting{Open with
} option on the
\setting{Context Menu
}.

123 \section{\label{ref:Viewersplugins
}Viewers
}
125 Viewers are plugins which are associated with specific file extensions.
126 They cannot be run directly but are started by ``playing'' the associated file.
127 Viewers are stored in the
\fname{/.rockbox/rocks/viewers/
} directory.
130 Some viewer plugins can only be used by selecting the
\setting{Open With...
}
131 option from the
\setting{Context Menu
} (see
\reference{ref:Contextmenu
}).
