Issue getting gadget work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. All
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
it should play music, but it doesn't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.0 on win 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

I personally think it is because it's running on the same PC as the SubSonic 
server (I did not check if it worked on another PC but thats not what I want I 
also want it to run on the same PC, I tried subsonic URL / localhost / my ip 
number (internal)
I even tried the LAN checkbox, all not seem to connect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey,
Your trial hasn't expired, has it?
The gadget should work fine on the pc running SS - I am actually using it like 
that right now :) 
The LAN checkbox is really only necessary if you are on the same lan AND using 
a subsonic.org address.
You can access it through the browser, correct? And if you enter the exact same 
url, it still doesn't work?

Oh, and what message do you get above the progress bar after you hit OK in the 
settings?

Hi,

See attached the settings
when I go to http://localhost then I have the Subsonic website yes.
I do not see any progress bar at all?

Thanks for the screenshot. We actually may be fine - it looks like the gadget 
is still in minimode. Go ahead and click OK on the settings screen but then 
hover over the gadget and right above the settings (wrench) icon you should see 
the Expand (larger/smaller) icon. Click that to show the full view. Now you 
should see a progress bar with some message above it - right under the sub 
icon. Let me know what that says.

Ahh all worked :) it was just in mini-mode :)
Will you add an option to play Internet Radio? (what I dont understand, in 
Subsonic I can add Internet Radio) but not any client can play it (except 
Subsonic site itself)!

Very irritating.. it should be able to play this from within the same app!

Glad that took care of it. :) All the clients rely on the Subsonic API and at 
this time it doesn't provide any way to grab the internet radio feature of 
Subsonic. Sindre is great at listening to feedback so if there isn't a thread 
on the forum requesting this already, there won't be any harm in starting one 
if you want.

On a side note, the gadget will actually play internet radio (at least with the 
urls I have tested) perfectly fine on it's own (completely isolated from 
Subsonic) although there isn't anyway to do so at the moment. I have never used 
internet radio personally (except for testing it with gadget just now) but if 
you can provide the url's you are using I can play around with it and see if I 
can make it come together seamlessly in the gadget. I am going to go ahead and 
close out this issue so if you want to pursue the internet radio feature, 
please create a new issue as a Feature Request and we can use it to track that.
