As I recently mentioned I’ve been working on a little project to create a visual album browser for my Squeezebox using the Chumby (thanks to Shawn at FITC). So after getting back from SXSW I managed to get the first prototype up and running.
See it in action and read more details of the why and a bit of the how. Hopefully over the next few weeks I can find time to improve the idea of the “browsebox” and see how far I can push the Chumby in terms of performance and interaction.
Thanks Steve! I’ll have the source for download in a day or so so people can play!
Brendan Dawes / 18/03/2007Looks great. How did you get access to the slim server’s IP? In my version the widget swf does a loadMovie() pointing to the local network (where I have another .swf in the same domain as slimserver).
Thanks,
Phillip
Hi Philip,
Well I have a QNAP box running Slimserver so what I had to do is put a crossdomain.xml file on my Mac webserver and then use a php proxy to then access the slimserver. Ideally I should have been able to just put the crossdomain.xml file on the slimserver but no matter where I put it (via telnet) it just wouldn’t show up via the browser! This was the next best thing!
Bren / 19/03/2007Hello,
It is very nice. What do you think of nabaztag ?
They are also making smart objects and the latest nabaztagtag is impressive.
See this demo :

Brendan,
This is awesome and is one of the best examples yet of what we hoped clever hackers would do with their prototype chumbys. As a happy Squeezebox owner, I can’t wait to try this myself!
Hats off to you.
