Re: Disable input plugins in runtime?

[Jason W. <ja...@ja...>]

Hi Vladimir,

I just had a look at the source, and I don't see a way to have cmus
skip loading any input plugins at run time.

I think you'll have to continue with your method of moving the
plugin file aside. cmus releases are infrequent, so hopefully that
wouldn't be too much bother.
