Thanks!
I found that I had to disable my username/password to get it working. Any chance the readme could get updated with the list of config parameters? Is there one to set the username (username didn't seem to work))?

Sorry for the confusion around the zip format - not sure why I did that. (A .gadget file is basically a .zip file.)
Livin: Live screen shots will only display in screen shot mode (ctrl s is the default screenshot toggle mode but look at the Help if you have problems with this). If what you are after is the corresponding icon for the film then this will only be displayed if xbmc has already created one prior to launching the file with the gadget i.e. you will need to have played the fileat least once direct from the xbmc gui. (I'll try to fix this for v2.)
How would you want the Send2XBMC functionality to work in the gadget? Perhaps the user copies the url to the clipboard and then initiates the play command through the gadget?
CrazyIvan: The config parameters can be found in the Help which can be found in the gadget's Option screen. The one you are looking for is password.

CrazyIvan: Yep, you can't change the username from the default 'xbmc'. I didn't think anyone used anything apart from 'xbmc'. I'll add that to v2.0.
The gadget only fully supports ports 80 and 8080. I haven't tested with anything apart from those two values. The auto scanning for new xbmcs definitely won't find anything that is not using either 80 or 8080 but the rest of the functionality should/may work. And yes, appending :82 would be the way to specify the port value.

Loved the gadget, i use it with XBMC Mediakeys while XBMC minimized equel Amazing.
Please add current playing media info in overlay text on top of the image (for music especially) (i know i can hover with the mouse and get the tooltip).
maybe make the playlist look a little bit nicer (maybe yellow colored background), add more options and control in the playlist (like delete individual media).
add option to open a media stream, like youtube video, podcast, or internet radio would be great.
Last thing i've already posted this in the documentation on google code:
I had little problem make the gadget works in win7. i run the gadget and xbmc on win7 in the same computer. i've found while using port 80 with xbmc webserver i cant use localhost or the ip 127.0.0.1 only the dynamic ip i've got from my dhcp server with no relevance to firewall or antivirus setting. changing the webserver port to 8080 solve that issue.

Hi nad.
I see you updated the gadget.
Thanks, I really loved it when it was working.
Do you plan to continue to support it and to have it working with Eden?

Hi dhead,
Just came along to announce the release of v2.3 and pleased to see that you have already noticed. The update was primarily to get the key strokes working with the latest Eden nightlies.
I'll probably keep monitoring Eden activity to keep the current gadget functionality working but since the HttpApi (which is what the gadget uses) has been deprecated I doubt I will be making any radical changes.
Since you ask about Eden, have you found anything not to be working?
