Testing widget in VM

Tek5 Dec 2011 4:18 AM
I'm trying to test a plugin in the VM.  I can put the widget code in the /devwidgets folder and the widget will be recognized.  However if I upload it to http://gallery.tv.widgets.yahoo.com/publisher, it will not come up as a 'DEVELOPER' widget inside the VM.

I have followed the instructions, however these could be a potential problem:
1) I'm using Win7 to zip the folder before uploading - is this a problem?
2) Even though the widget uploads and is displayed in the menu (@ http://gallery.tv.widgets.yahoo.com/publisher)  is that enough to assume that it has correct structure?

I have added the developer code to the widget on the website; I tried to 'reset' the Visio TV and reentered the code, but still no luck.  The 'Test Widgets'   category never shows.  (from http://developer.yahoo.com/connectedtv/installguide/CTV_IG_Testing_on_a_Consumer_Device.html#CTV_IG_View_your_Widget_on_a_TV #22)


Any other suggestion?

Thanks

I re-read the docs, an looks like this functionality is reserved for physical devices and not the simulator...&nbsp; thanks.<br><br><div class="quote"><div class="quotetop">QUOTE<cite>(Tek @ 5 Dec 2011 4:18 AM)</cite></div><blockquote class="quotemain">I&#39;m trying to test a plugin in the VM.&nbsp; I can put the widget code in the /devwidgets folder and the widget will be recognized.&nbsp; However if I upload it to http://gallery.tv.widgets.yahoo.com/publisher, it will not come up as a &#39;DEVELOPER&#39; widget inside the VM.<br><br>I have followed the instructions, however these could be a potential problem:<br>1) I&#39;m using Win7 to zip the folder before uploading - is this a problem?<br>2) Even though the widget uploads and is displayed in the menu (@ http://gallery.tv.widgets.yahoo.com/publisher)&nbsp; is that enough to assume that it has correct structure?<br><br>I have added the developer code to the widget on the website; I tried to &#39;reset&#39; the Visio TV and reentered the code, but still no luck.&nbsp; The &#39;<strong>Test Widgets&#39;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>category never shows.&nbsp; (from http://developer.yahoo.com/connectedtv/installguide/CTV_IG_Testing_on_a_Consumer_Device.html#CTV_IG_View_your_Widget_on_a_TV #22)<br><br><br>Any other suggestion?<br><br>Thanks</blockquote></div>
