USB Installation Instructions

These instructions are only needed if you want to install sbController locally on your Chumby using a USB drive, instead of using the Chumby network. It is no longer the recommended way of installing this widget; follow the instructions here for the recommended method of installation.

You will need a Chumby, a USB drive connected to it, and a Squeezebox Server instance. Version 0.2 has only been tested on Squeezebox Server 7.5 and 7.6.

1. Download the latest version at the downloads section.
2. Extract the contents to the root of your Chumby’s USB drive. If profile.xml already exists, DO NOT overwrite it. Instead, rename the existing one, extract sbController’s profile.xml and manually merge. Otherwise you will lose your other custom widgets.
3. Open up profile.xml on the USB drive in a text editor. Notepad is not recommended due to the Unix line endings.
4. In the widget parameters section, fill in your SqueezeCenter address/port and the cauth value if necessary. See the instructions in there to determine your cauth value.
5. Save profile.xml.
6. Plug the USB drive back into Chumby and reboot – you should now see the sbController widget in your widget list.
