Nice Way to Complement XBMC - eskro - 2011-08-15 Hi guys! i didn't know where to post this but uhm, if im in the wrong section, would a MOD please move my thread? thx Ok, Long Story short, of course i use XBMC for media playback but for web Streaming, i definitely prefer using my Internet Browser as nothing beats the real deal So i found a neat little website that i use as HomePage, which gives me an App like Grid interface for choosing my favorite websites! Here's a screenie of what u can do: note also that its fully customizable! backgrounds, icon Links, icon style and more ,,,, ENJOY --> http://www.myfav.es/ - kizer - 2011-08-16 Thanks I was kinda looking for something like this a while ago. - kizer - 2011-08-16 I was trying to figure out how to get it to launch a local file. I tried things like file:// and various other combinations. - vinistois - 2011-08-16 oh that is just great! Very useful, since we have a touchscreen PC mounted on our wall. This makes it super easy to use. Other solutions haven't been so great. I also need to launch local files though, I wonder how we can sort that one out. - eskro - 2011-08-16 what do u mean by launch local ?? - toymachine2009 - 2011-08-16 Just wondering but how exactly do you access this on your htpc? do you just minimize xbmc and open up web browser or what? - eskro - 2011-08-16 well yeah, if you want! its simply a website like any other,,, so they way you launch your web browser is on you,,, Quit XBMC, launch web Browser or Stay in XBMC, use Browser launcher addon whatever - toymachine2009 - 2011-08-16 Im going to look into that browser addon thanks! - kizer - 2011-08-18 eskro Wrote:what do u mean by launch local ?? Instead of launching a web url launch an app on your machine. Use it for more than just a web site favorite list. - JohnVee - 2011-08-24 Thanks, this is great. Now all they need is an XBMC icon to link you to the forums. |
