The widget seems to be stuck on the same image now? It used to update live just fine but it's been stuck for at least a week now!

The texts scroll by on the screen way to fast too read! Needs another few seconds please.

For the last few weeks (since the most recent update?) the widget usually just spins the dots endlessly without displaying anything before it just times out and moves on to the next widget. Occasionally a posting will appear, then when I press the forward button it starts spinning again. Other RSS based widgets such as Engadget continue to work just fine. Has anyone else seen this?

nice one...

This only works with the Mac version of the proxy server at the moment. We'll report back once we finalize the servers and move the app out of beta.

Cool widget. If I only knew if there's actually some logic behind it... Curious...

I loaded ChumbyiTunes Server for Windows (XP). It's running (1.0.0.34). The server says it can't find iTunes (which is also running) The widget is stuck on Loading... (I entered th eIP and Tivo Key)

This widget is still not working in Belize. Im not able to add any of this streams. http://sc.radiobangkok.net:8992/listen.pls http://www.radiopilatus.ch/streams/pilatus64.pls http://tv.stream-music.net:8138/listen.pls

This is broken - the Community Boating webcam URL seems to have changed. If you just load a picture with one of the URL viewers pointed at http://www.community-boating.org/cbicam/images/Cam1.jpg you'll do better than with this widget.

No clues as to how to add Japanese support to an American speaking chumby. Wot no unicode? ? _n_O.O_n_

I agree - goes by too fast, I have to hit pause to read the texts. I thought there was a setting for seconds to show each text?

Seems to have some bugs, the colors don't flash after the first few, you only hear the sounds.

Stopped Working Earlier this year.

Cool concept, very nice. Didnt see any clock like that anywhere yet. Still playing with the small switches, Im not sure what every single one does. But thats the fun in it! Thanks!

very good

Worked great for me.

Will this play March Madness? How about a Chumby March Madness app?

This is a great app. Don't know why I didn't find it earlier.

Nein anatmavada, ich verhaue höchstens meinen Chumby, wenn er nicht das macht was ich möchte, z.B die blöden Umlaute anzuzeigen bei dem Widget hier.

Und wenn man nicht Lacht, wird man dann von Chuck Norris oder von justtesting verhauen?

Einrich Von Norris!

Pretty much the same for me here. No workyworky, no streamystreamy. Logs in, even shows my uploaded song but don't play. Any suggestions? Anyone?

Our favorite widget! My kids keep taking my Chumby One off my desk to watch youtube videos.

How do you configure the blimp message? I've gone to customize and can type in text - but there is no confirm button - Hitting the "X" button is the only option and it doesn't save the text?

Hah! 30908 Awesome game. Thanks AlbertNahka :-)

Develephant, hi and thanks for all your hard work! Has something changed recently? I now only get my own tweets using this widget (or exec for that matter). Perhaps there is a new setting in Twitter?

well done, you fill important needs together: Achievement,Affiliation,Play and Sentience in one widget

Ah wayn3e, I see the problem. Stand by for update...

One thing is, I actually use my chumby as my sole clock, and it would be nice if the clock text could be a bit darker. Its hard for me to see the time across the room. just a thought. great widget!!

If set to celsius on the configuration page on the chumby, the temperature will switch back to fahrenheit after a while (reload or new data, I guess). Setting seems stable if it was done on this webpage.

How do you remove the overlay? Making it blank seems to have it just list the temperature; how do you remove it completely>

You should be able to start an account now. Sorry about that. Cheers.

very sad

No view any more, just a white screen. I miss this widget!

Same problem. Can't choose a chum.

when i choose my avatar it just show to me the screen "choose your chumb" again & again HEEEEEEEELP!!!!

when it say choos your i choose the panda guy and just resets someone help

Yes. You can only increase or decrease the time. Sorry,I can't check chumby one,because I don't have it. I will check when I can get it in Japan. Regards.

It only shows bookmarks, not the currently playing song, which would probably be much more useful.

Thank you for response, no move will start it, only increase or decrease of the time is possible? Does it run only on the Classic version? regards Kai

Ratzfatz-san, Thank you for the information! Now I can play continously. Me and my family are enjoying a lot on this widget. If possible, hope you could add the function to sort the video as "latest", so each time I access, I could see the new ones. But anyhow, its very happy to have this widget on chumby. Thank you for the work!!

awesome!

Great widget - thanks!!

Turn over your chumby to start countdown.

how to start countdown?

YEAH!!! I love all the new stuff that you have been working on!!!! Love the man on the moon and the rainbow! How very cool!!!! Thanks!!!

After I contacted them, the powers that be made a few more changes to the widget and it resolved my problem; I now get the messages displayed. Since I also have cox maybe it was related to that particular internet provider.

I agree with others that it would be nice to have "umlaut" (or whatever) support to view the local characters correctly. Fortunately there is a workaround to view characters correctly, by using for example Feedcombine which seems to "correct" the chars: http://www.feedcombine.co.uk/

The biggest issue is that, as far as I know, you cannot go back to the "Can you spot the error" side of the card without switching to the next card and switching back – you ought to deactivate the "explain" and "correct" buttons to go back to the original question. Nitpicking: The transitions between each card are kind of long and go in the wrong direction. If I take to long to read a card, the card disappears to the right, so I expected to find that card again by clicking to the right (even though that says next, but the interface ought to be intuitive). Some of the explanations are written with less than perfect grammar (using hyphens instead of dashes, capitalizing words unnecessarily, etc).

Each text seems to be going by too fast lately.

Sweet!

It's broken again.

It seems to me that the TTL annotation is not respected.....

I agree...great widget. I was surprised that I didn't have to do anything to get basic authentication to work; just used a URL of http://user:passwword@[and the rest or the URL on my LAN] and it worked first time! Great job and thank you :-)

Works very well. :D

A very pretty widget, shows to its best advantage in a darkened room.

I've posted a link to a current RSS feed in the forum discussion. http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?pid=11391

Of course not. You can see by my other widgets that I am capable of fixing this one. However, I do not have to time (doing other paid work and iPhone development) to fix this one. Donations have already enabled me to update some of my other widgets and "free" software.

Good work +++++ Thanks Now we need somebody to change the ugly interface. It's like windows in the early days.

you want people to donate for a broken widget???

This was working well for me before the update - but now I get signed in and page display says 1/2, but no messages displayed.

works good, but somehow is not "up-to-date" there are a lot more recent pictures from my friends when i look at facebook then on chumby... :/

works good, but only shows online or offline - no info about games or last time online... i use this page: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197973322008/friends

Thank You for developing. We are not a lot "chumbs" in Germany and appreciate any programming help from whereever...

I love this widget yet suddenly it is no longer full screen and I can barely see the lovely snow shots from my desk. I hope that changes because I have so enjoyed just watching the winter street.

This is a great widget. I have two babycams running on it now. Thanks! For those of you with Axis webcams, use the following URL construction: http://[cam IP address]/jpg/image.jpg and then set the image reload time in the widget to 1 second, or whatever you prefer. For example- one of my cameras is at (internal) IP address of 192.168.1.125- so the URL I plugged into the widget is http://192.168.1.125/jpg/image.jpg This works for the Axis 207w and Axis 207mw.

One of the best widgets after the Update !

kgoble: Just tab on the screen, text will hide. Tab again, text will show !

It's too bad that the picture can't be seen because of the text.

Bumper stickers too small to read quickly

thanks for the response, but I am not able to do programming

I liked this widget a lot but, unfortunately, after the update, this widget no longer works for me (the messages do not appear).

Doesn't work - do bother donating. Then it will be fixed. Do you see?

excellent update of the widget....

>Foxy It is not URL of http. You must put the image on the http server. If you can do perl programming,please check the following pages. [ http://d.hatena.ne.jp/shoozhoo/20081223 ] (Translation:[ http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=ja&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fd.hatena.ne.jp%2Fshoozhoo%2F20081223&sl=ja&tl=en ])

Yep, I concur. Awesome.

Doesn't work - dont bother downloading.

Oh yeah!! What a great surprise! I wasn't specting such a great improvement in this widget!! Really, thanks very much, this is the widget I use the most...

The links to the source php are dead. Does anyone have that file?

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\FOR SALE items\HouseSalePics this would be one example thanks

Not real time. It's 9:00pm here in Boston and the pic is in the daylight.

When it's raining all you get are focused and unfocused raindrops.

wow just put on the new update completely awesome thanks again man this widget is top rate!!!

Show me your image URL.

For those who have problems getting this widget to display images from your gallery2 installation the problem likely is that your g2 image files are too large. I have created an alternative method to display random gallery2 images using a small php script and the ImageURL widget. You can read about it here: http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?pid=27823#p27823

I just read that the Google App Engine still has problems (http://code.google.com/status/appengine) and is in read-only mode. That means, SearchTube will temporarily not be able to store additional favorites. Sorry for that.

Is this supposed to change each week?

sure would like to get this to work. I go to area of Craig's that I want to see, then copy url and paste. Does not work. Please help

Can't get this to work. I am using url from my pictures. Please help

Ratzfatz, that did it, thanks!

Leeep, sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you. You should save the file WITHOUT an extension: the filename must be "debugchumby", NOT "debugchumby.txt", NOT "debugchumby.mht" or anything like that. You may simply do a RIGHT-click on the link above and then chose "save link as.." to save the file without extension.If you have already saved the file WITH an extension, you may RENAME the file and delete the .txt. If the ".txt" is not shown, change the folder options in the windows (file-)explorer, so that file-extensions are shown for known-filetypes. Or you may use "firefox" instead of Internet Explorer, which saves the file correctly, no matter how you click on it.

this debugchumby file doesn't seem to be working for me. What should I save the file as? It opens in IE, when I do "save as", the file extension is .mht. I also tried using notepad to save it as a .txt file.

O.k., seems like it's working again.

Your Favorites (and the volume setting) are hosted at a Google Appengine Service, which is currently "temporarily down" (see http://code.google.com/status/appengine). That means you currently cannot access your favorites. I hope it doesn't take too long... Sorry for that.

This is by far my young daughter favorite widget. As she's only 2, she struggle a bit, and end up clicking the back button rather than the 3rd video in the list. Apart from that especially since the introduction of favorites it is just perfect.

Very nicely done, although based on my experience of it over the first few days it should probably be called Today in American History.

Sorry, C is reserved for The Calendar :)

Any chance of a 'C Clock' in blue?

Best. Widget. Ever.
