Need Dashboard Widget too #41

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The iTunes control needs a dashboard widget so that it can be controlled from 
other Macs as well 
as iPhones.

You could just leave your browser pointed to the same address as it would be on 
the iPhone.

That's not nearly as convenient, since I would end up with a window either 
always open or expanding from the 
dock every time I activate Safari.

I agree! I'll add it to the Stuff We Need page.

there's a free app called remote remote that allows you to control itunes from 
another mac.  Works really well.  
(yea i know you're going for the all in 1 idea.)

I've written my own iTunes remote control, but I'd rather have a dashboard 
widget and I'd rather have one thing 
running on my iTunes mac. I'd also rather not wait for Leopard.

I know, picky, picky.

I may dabble into making an actual widget of this. However, for now you may 
want to try the Shiaria (cant 
remember the spelling of it) browser widget. You could then just resize it to 
fit.

Regarding, Leopard and Dashcode... They have a beta for Tiger and that is what 
I will be using.

I started playing around with DashCode and with Shiira mini (which is a widget 
that is browser) and I am pretty 
sure that widgets cannot support https. I am no expert. Heck, I am not even an 
intermediate with widgets, but I 
think that a request for a widget that is compatible with iPhone Remote just 
isn't going to happen.

I made a simple iframe widget to try this out (before I initially asked), but 
found that the frame was blank. I 
expect that it's the auth that's blocking the widget, but I recall hearing 
something about https not being 
supported either. There's apparently no mechanism to ok the self-signed 
certificate as well.

Since my controlled Mac is behind a firewall, I'm going to look at editing the 
Apache setup file and turn off auth 
and https.

OK. I am an idiot. HTTPS is supported. I should have checked it out first on 
another https site that didn't have 
the auth. So it is the auth that is causing the blank frame.

A widget would be good for the server daemon so it can run in the background
