Way to make me feel like an old man.  I did this on my bed-side chumby classic and I can barely read anything on the left side of the screen!

I'll pile on another thanks that I didn't do on the other thread to keep it on topic.

Other than the tiny text on the widget, everything worked great.  I'll let you know if I see anything funny.  On Monday I'll probably change my work Infocast 3.5 to see if it works on those devices too.

Seems to work great!

Seems to be working on my Chumby 8.  I tried out the "edit channel" and "add apps" and only saw the one app.  Trying to delete the clock gave me an error message.  My music streams that I'd saved all continued to work (not a surprise, as this didn't actually update the whole system software).

Do you know if the instructions at http://wiki.chumby.com/index.php/Chumby … _a_channel will work with this build to allow mixing other locally stored widgets in with the clock?

I should also note that the "blue octy radio", "sleep sounds" and "CBS podcasts" stations have been renumbered in the new system - that means that any alarms that reference them will fall back to a beep unless you reprogram the alarms to pick up the new numbering.

These numbers are auto-generated upon creation of the stations, and since this is a distinct and separate standalone system, the numbers generated are different.

Works perfectly on my classic!

This server will be going up and down a bit over the next day or so as I'm rolling out some complicated updates.

Unfortunately some of these changes are very hard to do in my test environment with my current resources (normally this would be done in a sandboxed copy of production) so I have to do this on the live server.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

OK, new version of the server is up - all music sources should be operational now, including Pandora.

The deployment went a little easier than I thought, but I'm watching it carefully.

You'll need to edit the hosts file to the new one updated in the first post in the thread, and reboot.

I did notice last evening (EST) that the built-in clock was up. I rebooted sometime this morning and there was the BSOD saying that the device failed to download the control panel. This is on a classic. Working fine now.

I've been thinking -- could you have a second channel in the stub that just showed a static widget explaining the main Chumby service shutdown?  That would show up if someone went to try to change channels to see why their widgets went away.

Thanks for your effort, Duane!
I was running zurk's since last November, but tried the beta stub server last Saturday.

Are there any changes in the control panel compared to the original version?
In the original panel mp3 playback from my streams stalled several times per hour, and almost never played the full 2 hours for an alarm.
With the beta panel there was not one single interruption. Ok it's only for 4 days now, but still noticeable.

zurk's version is 2.8.84. So I'll stick with 2.8.85, the WAF is significantly higher if the radio stream is fine

1. No, the DNS will be switched over.  The /psp/hosts hack is if you want to test the new server before the DNS change is made.

2. Yes, when the chumby boots, there's a control panel already on the device.  It connects to your network and attempts to download the updated control panel from chumby servers.  If this were to fail, the network will still be up and worst-case, you could put a usb stick in with a "start_sshd" file to get the daemon running on boot to modify the chumby.  But if you read #1, you won't have to worry.
