Thanks for this, looks interesting and promising. However, I know very
little of "widgets" and and I get stuck on making this work. I apologize
for my stupid questions beforehand.
I'm trying to make this work on a MX (Debian10) laptop with LMS 8.3.0 on
a separate MX (Debian10) host (Intel NUC). I started with installing
"gem" and "gem2deb" and then installed Smashing, all on the laptop.
After that I installed the widget according to instructions on your
github, using the 'smashing install 93c6ec070af4cd2247f3c94f387c02c1'
rather than the manual install. I noted that the directory
widget/squeezebox/ was populated with the files mentioned in your
readme-file.

However I could not follow all instructions.

1) I have no idea where to find the ".erb" file.

Code:
--------------------
    Add the following code snippet to your dashboard .erb file:
  <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="2" data-sizey="2">
  <div data-id="now-playing" data-view="Squeezebox" 
data-title="Squeezebox"></div>
  </li>
--------------------


2) In the Smashing github.io page there are more steps than just
installing Smashing, like creating a project etc, but I have no idea how
to go about this. Any hints?

Thanks
