Well it gets tiring having to go to linux just to use firefox, and I dont own a personal computer, so I would definately use it. If anybody has some sort of code I would be happy to test it.

Firefox/Gecko prob won't handle well on the Xbox's hardware. Something like Webkit or KHTML (which webkit is based on) would be a better choice, or am I wrong?

I agree that linksboks is sadly very limited, although I actually think the user interface is great--you get tabs, innovative text input, etc. The lack of javascript and CSS is the big problem.

well, I think that someone should make a PS2 emulator that runs on the Xbox, but that doesn't make either proposition feasible...

I sayed some weeks before to use a WiiChannel like interface... I think the work order is:

1) Make linkxboks over XBMC official thought SVC
2) Adapt interface to a more easy to use
3) Add functionality or make a mini-fork to integrate gecko or khtml as happened with Gaim and Gaim-vv

Hi,

Im wondering if its at all possible to be able to connect to a website through xbmc and then be able to navigate through the website.

I have found a website where you can stream films to watch but id rather watch them on my tv and not my pc moniter, so i was wondering if i could connect to the site and pick the film i wanted through xbmc.

Thanks for any response and help

with standard xbmc, no.

what do you mean with standard xbmc, that sounds to me that i could get a script or something that would enable me to do that. or do you mean you cant do it!!!

There's a mod where you can manually add linksboks into xbmc, or of course, you can always use Linksboks as a separate app launched through XBMC. It's nothing as simple as a python script though

I suggest you put a web browser it would be a great addition and shouldnt be too hard to make, would basically make it a home computer to me.

They are already workin on it it's almost completed

That was said over a year ago. Truth be told ys works on it and one or 2 others, while the number of dev for XBMC is far greater (testers etc.) as a result the browser is always 2 or 3 steps behind the actual SVN (sometimes alot more) so it will never be ready to just "pop in". As a result, I dont think this will ever "be ready" to add to SVN and that fact alone will always slow its completion.

Sounds like a paradox, Links wont make SVN because its not quite ready, but it will never be quite ready unless its added to SVN so its alteration/improvement runs WITH SVN instead of beside/behind it.

Just my 2 cents

Yes, it is too bad they will not merge it into the main branch

IF it were me, and I know this is a statement spiff would rip me apart on... it would have its own branch in SVN by now similar to spiff's branch during initial dev for video database work. Then at the least it could develope along side the actual SVN and when its perfected just pop over. It would also stop alot of the issues with outstanding builds due to build compatibility (sync issues and the like). But, like alot I am full of.... ideas I just dont have the technical background in design to impliment. I have had background debugging fine, but the building of... well I couldnt begin.

we have said that to ys for a long time. its all up to him.

and STOP SPREADING FUD ALREADY AFFINI.

FFS. it will be merged into the main branch. we have said so.

you two sound like spoiled freaking children that thing we owe you somthing. you want it to progress faster? then get off your fat arses and help ysbox you instead of complaining. man
