FYI, boxee is using xulrunner for their flashplayer component.

I think this is a first step towards a full web browser for XBMC.

Why would you want to use a Qt port of WebKit in XBMC? XBMC does not use Qt for anything else, would it not be a shame to add that dependency to XBMC?

I believe some XBMC developers had some objections to Boxee's implementation, or maybe it was Boxee's specific way of integrating it there was objections to, anyway, I think it will be brought up and discussed at the XBMC DevCon 2009 next weekend.

Hey it was just a suggestion, ..., didn't think it would be a great or popular option, but it doesn't hurt to put it on the table.
Btw, the similarity between the naming of QTwebkit and webkit mentioned in the thread should have been a clue to me that they are one and the same......

Can someone comment on the technical specifics?
Bump!
OT for thread. Since we are witnessing the nascent days of webkit in XBMC (super exciting stuff), I'd like to humbly propose having it at least partially integrated with the skinning system. The latter does an incredible amount as well, and if the browser is going to do anything more than be a HTTP carrier with SWF playback (what we dont have fully available today) then perhaps the devs can entertain a new way to do skinning via generic web front end technology... meaning skinning as a abstracted and novel way to do alpha layer on top of CSS and JS. Given that there would be limitations even in CCS3 to affect the elements that the skin is readily capable of.
For people wanting a web browser in XBMC i've got a programmer currently trying to embed a web browser within XBMC and hope to have something soon.

There is an effort going on by the XBMC team. Are they related?
Nah there not i'm paying our programmer to do a few things.
Thats one aswell as skype in xbmc, RSS feeds much like mythtv
Skype would be awesome! (I was under the impression that there was no way of capturing / redirecting Skype video though)
Just hope they don't shut Skype down.
Hi
Is there an explrer that runs under XBMC?
And if, is there a way to use the remote to write, like you writing with a cell phone 3 hits on 2 is the letter C and so on. And make the arrow keys work as mouse?
Example: You open the explrer, the you hit a button that activate this funktion, so you can navigate with the arrow keys on the remote, and write with the num pad. Like I wrote before.
Is there a way to make this work?
Edit: I use EventGhost to handle my remote.
Kindly
Petter
At the moment, no. I believe there may be work on one somewhere, but currently nothing is available.
Are you talking about the explorer or the posibility to use the remote to write with and mouse?
Someone found out somthing?
