As far as I can see, by far the easiest way to run a Chumby App on a Joggler is to first install the Flash App Manager that comes with GForums PNP, this will give you a simple front end to launch the apps, and also adds an exit button to the apps.
Next find an app that you wish to install, eg to install GemRunner (a simple early 80's arcade style game) go to this page:
http://www.chumby.com/guide/widget/gemrunner
Now you need to find the actual URL of the App, this is easily done by viewing the source of the webpage (on the view menu in IE), then find the line that looks like this:
Code: Select all
swfobject.embedSWF("http://s3movies.chumby.com/cdn/xmlmovie/28CFA2C4-F8F5-11DD-B47E-001E681DF646", "flash_movie", appsize.width, appsize.height, "8", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
/media/appshop/flash
This is the directory that the Flash App Manager looks in for flash apps.
Now download the app into this directory using wget with the URL of the app, ie:
Code: Select all
wget http://s3movies.chumby.com/cdn/xmlmovie/28CFA2C4-F8F5-11DD-B47E-001E681DF646 -O GemRunner.swf
Finally launch Flash App Manager and you should find the new app in the list, just tap it to run.
Repeat for any apps for wish, Flash App Manager will need to be relaunched for the app list to be refreshed.
I know this sounds complicated but it is actually very very easy, and very quick, I downloaded over 20 in the space of 30 minutes.
As the apps are originally designed to run on a Chumby device it is a bit hit and miss as to which one will work on a Joggler, but I would say at least 75% of the ones I have tried work perfectly.
I find this one particulary useful if you want a quick news update of something:
