sbController is a widget for your Chumby that displays the current track and playlist on your Squeezebox (or any other device attached to your Squeezebox Server, including the Chumby itself).
Right now, the implemented actions are -
- pause/unpause
- next track
- previous track
It caters for multiple registered devices too, but not password-protected Squeezebox Servers (I think anyway; not tested). It is not an alternate BrowseBox implementation, but rather just a playlist/status viewer/controller.
See this project’s issues for some kind of roadmap.
- Install the Squeezebox Server plugin by following these instructions. When configuring, add this domain: *.chumby.com
- Add this widget to a channel on your Chumby.
- Click the customize link for the widget, and fill out the details. Only the Squeezebox Server address is required.
- Reload the channel on your Chumby.
- Play something on your Squeezebox, switch to the widget on your Chumby, relax.

These instructions are not recommended anymore. Don’t use these instructions unless you have a specific need to run the widget locally via a USB drive.
Only 3 actions have been implemented – play/pause, next song, previous song.
Once the widget has loaded and you have selected a player, it will display details on the currently playing song.
To play or pause, simply tap the screen to toggle between playing and pausing.
To change to the next or previous song, swipe to the left or swipe to the right respectively. To just peek at the next or previous song, use the same actions, but reverse the swipe back to the current song without letting go. It’s hard to explain, but will be intuitive when you use it.
Feel free to add issues to this project or the forum thread on the Chumby forums.
