I’m happy to announce the release of the SoundBridge Remote Control Yahoo! Widget 1.0. This new Yahoo! Widget (formerly Konfabulator Widgets) gives users of the Roku SoundBridge M1000/M1001 control of basic SoundBridge functions from their desktop. Functions include volume control, play/pause and next/previous song selection, power, and an optional "now playing" window.
Download from the official Yahoo! Widgets page at http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=39187
There are some things to keep in mind with this initial release:
1) You need the free Yahoo! Widget Engine to use this and other Yahoo! Widgets. Download the Engine from http://widgets.yahoo.com/
2) I developed this widget on Windows, but it “should†work with Mac OS X. If a Mac user or two would like to give it a try and let me know if it works as expected, I’d really appreciate it!
3) All testing of the widget is with the latest beta version of the SoundBridge software, currently 2.5.133, but it should work with the original, non-beta software. Again, it would be great if someone could try the widget with the official software release and let me know if it behaves.
4) My goal is to keep the widget small and simple, so I provide what I consider to be the essential buttons. I will entertain suggestions for adding, removing or replacing one or two buttons, however.
Enjoy!
Paul
