I put together a local widget for a pal that wanted to monitor SABnzbd (SABnzbd is an Open Source Binary Newsreader written in Python. - http://sabnzbd.org).

Due to certain security restrictions, it must be run from a USB thumb drive, but is still able to intermingle with your other widgets.

I've also included source/fla (CS5) that may be helpful for learning.  It was a half day code project so it's not commented.  Hopefully it's self explanatory.

SABnzbd Monitor for Chumby
V 1.0 | 2011 develephant.com

THIS WIDGET MUST BE INSTALLED LOCALLY ON A USB DRIVE TO OPERATE.

SABnzbd (http://sabnzbd.org) is an Open Source Binary Newsreader written in Python.

1. Open the profile.xml file in a text editior.
2. Replace the "connection_url" and "api_key" parameters with your values. (ApiKey: Config->General)
3. Save sabmon.swf, profile.xml, and sabmonmini.jpg onto a USB thumb drive.
4. Insert drive into the back of the chumby and restart.

Current version supports viewing the top 8 files in the queue.  You can also adjust amount of seconds between refreshes by changing the "refresh_rate" in the profile.xml.  You can also pause/resume the queue by tapping the top area (there is a few seconds before the actual action registers with sabnzbd).
