sorry still no update. i hope to find some time & motivation soon to finish those bookmarks and history and do a settings screen.

as for the local files, you can access them without having a web browser using urls like file://e:\folder\file.txt (i'm not sure about the '//' & can't test now, try with and without...).

thanks it worked, i defintaley needed it, and its with it "//"
example:

file://e:\offline webpages\news\articles\new york.htm

and your able to bookmark it which is nice, because some of the addresses get a bit to long to type in with a xbox controller.

thanks again, for xbmc & linksbok.

update!  Wink

Quote:-12-30-05  updated: synced to xbmc cvs as of 12-30-05.
-12-30-05  updated: fixes to get rid of links' memory allocation and leaks tracking => more speed, less mem usage
-12-30-05  fixed: browser crashing on start. fix is in xbmc cvs (30-12-2005), not in svn.
-12-30-05  added: working history window
-12-30-05  added: xbmc-based bookmarks manager
-> add bookmarks, new folder, delete, move, edit...
-> while in it with focus on the list use black to bring up a context menu

as always, those who know how to test it can feel free to do so, and those who don't can feel free to... learn.

thanks for the update Smile i'll give it a try.

just did a compile and upload and i must say i'm impressed. it looks so much more polished now then the last time i tried it. (way back)

and the xbe file is almost the same size. this should be in the cvs tree so it can be maintaind alongside with rest of the code. jm have you tried this new version ?

anyhow great work :bowdown:

thanks Smile

in today's cool tips™:
"how to do cool stuff like amarok (1, 2) in xbmc and links using 1 line of python"!

get the wikipedia entry for the currently playing artist:
Quote:import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.browseurl(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:search/'+xbmc.player().getmusicinfotag().getartist()+')')

get the lyrics from the currently playing song:
Quote:import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.browseurl(http://lyrc.com.ar/en/tema1en.php?artist='+xbmc.player().getmusicinfotag().getartist()+'&songname='+xbmc.player().getmusicinfotag().gettitle()+')')

well ok, that's 2 lines with the import statement...
but check it out Wink
paste them in new wikipedia.py and lyrics.py files, put them in your scripts folders, play some music and run!
