sbController is a widget for your Chumby that displays the current track and playlist on your Squeezebox (or any other device attached to your SqueezeCenter, including the Chumby itself).
There are already some out there, e.g.
But they weren’t to my liking, so here’s my take on it.
Right now, the implemented actions are -
- pause/unpause
- next track
- previous track
It caters for multiple registered devices too, but not password-protected SqueezeCenter 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.
It is based on the Chumby widget example provided here .
sbController can now be used straight from the Chumby network when used in conjunction with the Cross-Domain Policy plugin for Squeezebox Server.
- 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.
It’s pretty straight forward. I’ll let you play around and work it out :)
