is there any cool happenings here yet?
does zerojay still appreciatively hosts files for those without PHP servers?
is it worth it for N800 or gets old fast?

Here's what I got so far messing with googlepages and chumby.













Still working on this.
really cool being able to click on different chumby channels.
It just seems like alot of work, considering I don't know what I'm doing really.

btw, screenies were taken with this cool little QT4 app I got to build for os2008.

If the OS/2 experience learned us anything, it is that the number of emulators a business-grade OS needs is inversely equivalent to its lifetime.

Luckily, it's exactly the opposite with a leasure-grade OS.

Is this code still available somewhere? I'd rather host it up on my server than someone else's. Thanks!

After surprisingly getting gtkmozembed to work on my n800 the other day, I started hacking on a python chumby player for maemo. It's not quite ready yet, but it looks nice and browsing through a hardcoded playlist of chumby movies already works. So here are some teaser screenshots

I'll pack it up when I'm happy with the functionality and post a link to this thread. Dependency-wise this will be a bit of a challange, as building a working libgtkmozembed for python currently requires building from the freshes souce package and then installing the python gnome-extras package provided by Owen Williams (who helped me a lot figuring all this out - thanks again, Owen!).

Overall, I think this might be a really cool app. Browsing through the movies with the N800's hardware buttons is really fun and fast.

Sorry .....bump

Can somebody post that php script again?

Thanks!

stoopid question: when I go to http://technut.canada.googlepages.com/chumby.html on my n810, I get a blank screen. Previous poster has virtual chumby there, and it works on my desktop. Why doesn't it work on my n810? Am I missing something? (uh, probably) What?

Thanks!

I was about to ask the same thing

So here is the maemo chumby player I've been working on:

http://www.henso.com/files/grumby/

Install the python2.5-gnome-extras package first (it contains the python gtkmozembed binding), then the grumby package. It requires OS2008 and runs reasonably well on my n800 (with an occasional segfault, probably related to gtkmozembed and flash movies).

Two more screenshots to wet your appetite. Have fun, and let me know how it goes.



PS: I hope the Chumby guys don't feel threatened by this kind of "parasitic" app. I don't think IT users are so numerous that their servers will be thrashed, and there should be some potential buyers too. So if you like this, please consider buying a real chumby!
