You probably made an error in your MP3 renderer plugin. You will need
to step into the code, or put in printfs, to make sure that your code
is advertising support for MP3. You can compare your code against the
working MP3 renderer code and see where yours fails. At start up RP
should load your plugin, since it hasn't seen it before (MD5 hash) and
ask it what it 'does'.

You can find the production MP3 code here:


https://helixcommunity.org/viewcvs/datatype/mp3/

Or you can just use the build system and check it out and build
it on your local machine.


But, if you are going to be doing serious development, I would
suggest that you check out and build a full debug sample command
line player and use that to test your new plugins. The player is
called 'splay'. It is basically a much simpler player built around
the same media engine as RP (Helix). It is what all of use Helix
developers use to develop new code:
