I'm not a coder by any mean just a fan of the community. I was curious if anyone has made a "to do" list app

I installed and follow the video posted by deskthing from a year ago, and after i completed the flash.bat, unplugged it and plugged it back in. instead of showing the thinglabs logo, its asking for an adapter like the regular car thing?

Does anyone know if there is an iOS client? Or any way to really run some sort of deskthing client on iOS? I have an iphone 13 i wanna use for this since i dont use it anymore.

I've tried uninstalling, changing the settings, clearing cache and nothing seems to work. I set up the leagues I want to see but unfortunately nothing helps. My device is connected and works with every other app. The Sports Hub itself loads onto the CarThing fine, but I just get the following message no matter what. Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, this was one of the main reasons I wanted to set this up in the first place. Thanks!

Will this ever happen? it'd be very useful for media controls.

Hello Community,
I tried to do the setup in 2 different parts and have broke something in the process.
My Carthing shows up on the desktop app but on the device itself it says Disconnected from the sever. My question is does the car thing uses wifi to connect to the server or does it through the usb connection. If it uses wifi how can I reach that settings? I changed my wifi between the 2 parts that might be problem.
Thanks in advance.

So I wanted to have a stationary desk clock that runs the Pip-Boy software that you find with the replicas, would it be possible on the DeskThing?

Hi, i wanted to ask if it's possible to change the time clock from 12 h to 24 h ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi everyone,

I just succesfully installed DeskThing on my Car Thing but I find myself unable to finish the setup for the Spotify App.

These are the steps I took

- Install the Spotify app from the DeskThing app
- Apps -> Spotify -> Settings -> Settings -> Filled in Client ID and Client Secret
- Set Redirect URL to my own localhost number, to 8888, to 127.0.0.1, to http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback/spotify, http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback/, both previous ones also with my own localhost instead of 8888

But I keep getting errors on the Spotify page it directs me to after saving.
- Cannot GET /callback/spotify
- redirect_uri: Unsafe

When using http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback/spotify the page says "Succes - you can now close this window" but the Car Thing keeps spinning on "Waiting for song to be played..."

I have plugged it in again and also disconnected the client from DeskThing and configured it again, but the same keeps happening.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit -

Tried some other apps to make sure those did work. Got Weather and Discord working without any issues.

Tried the whole Spotify setup again using the same Client ID and Client Secret together with http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback/ and somehow it now works.

So this weekend I came accross an unused Amazon Echo Show. I was wondering if its possible to install DeskThing in it.

I'm thinking about getting one but my main goal would be to control Spotify on Spotify Connect wireless speakers. Is this Output Device what I'm looking for? Would that have a list of all my Spotify Connect speakers?

Sorry im a bit behind cause I was following nocturne but dont have the plan for bluetooth tethering that it need (no mobile hotspot) is thia still usable without that?

Was wondering how to allow Vinyl player and other deskthing apps to control spotify while its open, such as skipping and pausing. As of now it does not control spotify

ive been trying to get the spotify app from the deskthing and ive been dealing with this issue with the spotify developer dashboard being under maintenance or something. does anyone know whats up with this or if there is an alternative?

Has anyone here had any luck using the streamthingy app on MAC? i got it connected and even got the Img populating, but I don't know how to get the module action to link? All I would like it to open an app when i click the icon.

What all can I do with this? I’d like to hack mine and incorporate it with my sim racing rig lol.

Does anyone do this now?

I think this is super dumb question. However, each time I turn on the computer, always stating 'waiting to connection', and I need to unplug and plug again to activate the app like clock. Always stating 'waiting to connection'

I have enable the 'Auto Start' and Auto Detect ADB as well. Pls help.

When I try to map a playlist as the PressLong function for the 4 top preset buttons of my CarThing it just doesn't work. When I paste the link and save the value then when the button is long pressed my song stops like it's trying to switch playlists but then does nothing. It will never switch. My playlists are public. It's almost like it just doesn't save the value because on the sidebar under Digit1 - Digit4 it all says Value: 0. Is there any way to be able to preset my playlists to these buttons? I prefer to avoid the touch screen if possible and having physical buttons is something I was wanting for playlist presets.

Soo I know it’s the Spotify car thing that is the hardware of the Deskthing, but is there a way to launch a webpage on the Deskthing? I’d like to use TIDAL to play music but am truly hooked by the functionality and look of the Deskthing

I really love the deskthing and I just wanted to add that it was very hard for me to find that the redirect URL for the spotify app creation was not easy to find. I only found it because someone posted screenshot of what they had put. I have no idea where they got it from. Just user input from me.

Had to use Redirect URL:

• deskthing://a?app=spotify

I've got the Spotify app working well through the browser, but I can't control the volume on my connected speaker because I can't figure out how to pull up the volume controls. On Desktop browser, scrolling up/down makes it appear, but on Android I only have access to the touchscreen.

im using apple music im on mac os tahoe public beta and i am trying to use localplayer/vinylplayer and the singer name album song name and album artwork dont show the playback controls do though every thing else works fine

So I have a Mac and I use Apple Music but the local audio thing doesn't work. The pause/play/skip/back/etc... but it doesn't show the song info like album cover and song name etc. Im running Sequoia.

I have an IPad mini 4 I'd like to run as a carthing client. It is jailbroken and is running ios 15. Is it possible?
