I am an absolute beginner in Yahoo Connected TV.

I am a HTML Designer at job, but for a project need to test out a Yahoo TV Widget.

I installed the Yahoo! TV Simulator on Ubuntu (Konfabulator) and i have the Widget as ZIP-file.

How do I start this file? The Konfabulator doesnt have a "open file.." menu or so.

Can someone give me a step by step instruction?

Sorry if this might sound stupid ;)

Hi Alexandra,<br><br>You need to unzip the widget in the folder /devwidgets and then restart the simulator. If everything is fine, you should see the widget loaded correctly. Make sure you follow the folder structure as mentioned in the documentation. For more doubts, please go through&nbsp;http://developer.yahoo.com/connectedtv/quickstart/CTV_QS_Getting_Started.html.

thx Vivek,<br><br>but i still cant make it work :/ the folder /devwidgets is nowhere to be found.<br><br>so i added it to /home/ and unzipped the content of the widget there... but still: all i get is an empty black screen when starting the simulator :&#39;(<br><br><br>cheers,<br><br>Alexandra<br><br> QUOTE (Vivek Jani @ 22 Jan 2012 9:17 PM) Hi Alexandra,<br><br>You need to unzip the widget in the folder /devwidgets and then restart the simulator.

It needs to be in the root directory so literally /devwidgets.&nbsp; Are you using the latest VMware on a microsoft OS or are you doing this on a linux machine?<br>mockware<br><br> QUOTE (K.a. @ 23 Jan 2012 1:24 PM) thx Vivek,<br><br>but i still cant make it work :/ the folder /devwidgets is nowhere to be found.<br><br>so i added it to /home/ and unzipped the content of the widget there... but still: all i get is an empty black screen when starting the simulator :&#39;(<br><br><br>cheers,<br><br>Alexandra<br><br> QUOTE (Vivek Jani @ 22 Jan 2012 9:17 PM) Hi Alexandra,<br><br>You need to unzip the widget in the folder /devwidgets and then restart the simulator.

I have a PC with a Ubuntu installation on a partition. So genuinie Linux.<br><br>But I am not too familiar with Linux as you might have guessed ;).<br><br>On Ubuntu I have folders just as in Windows.<br><br>Cheers &amp; thx,<br><br>Alexandra

As mockware wrote, create a folder devwidgets in the root directory.<br><br>cd /<br>sudo mkdir devwidgets<br><br>Unzip the widget there and restart the simulator.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Vivek
