    Why do you need to run the server? Why not just connect like the iPhone "Remote" application does directly to iTunes?

    Hello sknorton, This widget should be working on your Chumby provided you have configured it correctly. In fact, I am using it right now :) If you are having issues, would you please elaborate on the Forum thread located here and I would be happy to help you set it up. http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=3707

    This widget rocks. Super easy setup, and it works like a charm. Got a free Chumby and I love it already...

    Neat, but is there any way we can get an app (or expand this app) to make Chumby work as a remote speaker for ITunes?

    I am trying to install chumbitunes-itunes remote and am having problems with the install on my laptop. The first part of the install worked fine, however I am receiving an error message on the second part of the install, the chumbyitunesserver file. The error message is as follows: "Cannot start application": "Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance." The error box as an ok button and a details button which creates a notepad file with a technical readout of the problem.

    Thanks for the link to the forum, I was using the Chumby iTunes Server address and not my computer's IP address. Thanks!

    BTW, for tech support, it would be easier to discuss on the forum post here: http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=3707

    First thing that comes to mind is to check your firewall. Second, I wonder if you have multiple-network adapters on your PC. I will update the PC software this weekend to help facilitate finding server IP as well a self-diagnostic feature to ensure that the server is running and ready for chumbies to connect.

    I can't get it to connect to the server either, but the Chumby iTunes server is running and the server settings are right. Any ideas?

    You can find the free Mac ChumbiTunes Server here: http://shamurai.com/bin/chumbiTunes/

    lseland, you will see this screen if your chumby cannot find a chumbiTunes server (free Windows version or the mac Signal Server). The chumby cannot talk directly to iTunes right now. For more information on how to setup a server, visit this link: http://tinyurl.com/chumbiTunes

    Should the "connecting to server" screen be up for long? I can't seem to get past it.

    Kagudesu, I don't have a free Mac server available. However, if you purchase and install Signal Server from http://www.alloysoft.com, use the "Advanced" profile in the chumby widget and it will work as McConnell's does.

    @kagudesu, I'm running iTunes on a mac. You can use the Signal Server from these guys ... http://www.alloysoft.com/

    Can't wait for the Mac version. This will be an excuse to put Chumby in the living room!

    A breeze to get set up. Been hoping for something like this since I first got my Chumby!
