Re: Orb Media Server Widget

I'm surprised I had not seen this thread previously.  Yes, shireen got my mind going, and I put together a quick widget for both ORB video streaming from your PC, and one for the internet (iTV) stations.  There have been some usage anomalies, but is defiantly working for most people.  Best thing to do is just give it a shot.

ORB Streamer : http://www.chumby.com/guide/widget/ORB+Streamer

ORB iTV : http://www.chumby.com/guide/widget/ORB+iTV

If you don't have the software / account you can take care of all that over at http://www.orb.com

I would consider these versions "beta" as I will be improving upon them over time.  Enjoy!

I've been meaning to get in and update these a bit, not sure when exactly, but I will look into the music version.

Thanks for the comments.

Cheers.

Re: Orb Media Server Widget

Well, I did enable Phidgets support, so theoretically you could hook that up to a toaster and have it controlled that way.  Now if only we could use toast as a framebuffer device...
