Hi! Thank you very much for this widget. I think is really useful to have it on the chumby. But now I am triying to play a list of videos. Would it be possible to use any kind of playlist? If it is not, I would gladly implement this option if you would share the original widget code with me. I am registered in the forum with this same nickname :)

I do not understand your question. There is a configuration dialog for every widget on the chumby. So there is also one for this. That is the place where you have to set the path to the video.

I don't think i will add the feature to load SWFs. It is only a video player. Not a Container to load other Flash Content.

I enjoy this a ton, thanks. Will you be making a SWF player to load external SWFs?

OK, it looks like changing the URL to have only two slashes after "file:" does the trick...maybe this is due to a change in the Chumby One vs. the Classic. Bottom line... This works: file://mnt/usb/sample.flv .... This does not: file:////mnt/usb/sample.flv Thanks to all who have posted about this. Just got a huge laugh from a FLV of SNL Jeopardy..."You'll RUE the day you crossed me, Trebek."

OK, newbie Chumby One user here as of today, I have tried placing a flv file on two USB sticks but I can’t seem to get the Chumby to play it. original file location: http://gallery.rphmedia.net/albums/userpics/10001/jacko.flv plays a little choppy, but Chumby found and played the file. I save the file to the USB stick as sample.flv, and change the widget using "customize" to point to file:////mnt/usb/sample.flv and reloaded the channel on the Chumby... Now it can't find the file but it doesn't say anything about not being able to find the file, I just see "Play Video?" and "widget timed out". I updated the Chumby One this morning upon opening the box. There are no other files on USB stick and I have formatted the USB stick using FAT and FAT32 before copying the flv file…if I replace the filename with the original URL and reload the channel, I can see the original file again. I must be missing something pretty basic...any suggestions are appreciated. I do like the default video (ST trailer) when I loaded the viewer without providing a file name/URL. Thank you.

For playing files from USB, you just need to specify the correct path to the file. For Example: file:////mnt/usb/sample.flv

I wanted to get http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/podcast.xml To work. Do I have to add something to the url?

ah. i forgot to explain the controls. use your finger to: * touch the screen and move it left/right to go fast forward/backward * move up/down to increase/decrease the volume * hit the screen like you would with a button and the movie pauses. do it again and it continues playing. when the video is paused (not playing) you have 15 seconds to start it before the next widget starts.

When i try to set a file that isn't there it says 'file not found'. Once you have set anything in the config dialog you will never see the default video playing again.

This widget does not seem to work on Virtual Chumby. It plays the default flv but will not play the 2 flv files that I tried.

Great simple widget. It'd be awesome if it can take an URL for RSS feed containing multiple FLV urls in enclosures/links and plays them in order.
