autocreate-threads
force-mp3-to-m3u
jukebox-enhancements
kill-LDM
lightbox
limit-uploads
limit-useraccess
patch-forumhome
patch-forumhome-newlinks
patch-forumhome-thumbs
patch-showthread
readme.txt
rss2
sample-avi-image
stream-mms-videos
versionist
wimpy-player
xml-import

Also, where can we get this plugin, "To add new filetypes, use VB->Admincp->Attachments->Attachment Manager->Add New Extension. (NB: With effect from version 2.2.7 of LDM, there is an 'add-mimetypes-plugin' extra in the release .zip file, which will 'auto-install' all the common media file extensions into your vb tables.)"

Thanks a bunch! Looking forward to the update. Rolando.

There's two ways of installing plugins - either by selecting a hook ("Add Plugin") or by Uploading a plugin xml file. The extras you mention are usually designed to be uploaded - go to your vb admincp/products and plugins/download and upload and simply upload the relevant xml file. It knows where to hook itself. (If you want, take a look inside the various xml files - you'll see how they are laid out.)

Your question 2) - again, you currently go to the vb admincp/attachments/attachment manager, and you add the new extension. As I noted, with 2.2.7, I'll provide an add on that will do this automatically, but I recommend that you try to understand how to do it manually - because you are fundamentally changing what types of file people can place on your board.
