What does it do?

 

It does exactly what its name says: wants to be like a TV set for your sidebar. You can stop or start playing the broadcast again, you can change between 5 TV stations and you can customize each station by changing it with your own URL.

Features

 

You have a stop/play button which can stop/play the receiving of the active station. You also have 5 station buttons which simply change the channel when you click them. Only 3 stations are set by default, but you can change the URL for any station you want by clicking the URL button. You are then asked to write the URL of the tv/video (including the “http://” part) and then give it a name (as you want it to appear in the gadget)

 

What URLs can i use ?

 

Simply put, you can pretty much put in any URL which would (or could be) open up with your WMP plug-in in the web browser (the gadget has been designed for streaming videos which would be preferred for a better playback quality). For example, a URL which can be added can point to an ASX file - the 3 stations that come with the gadget use this format.

Offline use

 

The latest versions have added 3 buttons created especially for offline use. If when you’re online a Stop/Play button will suffice, for local files, you’ll need a button for opening them (small yellow button), and some usual functions you can find in any media player, like ‘Pause’ and ‘Fast Forward’. More updates coming soon!
