Thanks! - internick - 2007-07-22

Hello all:

ysbox thanks for your great job. That was fantastic and sure it will be fantastic again in the future.
Integration of linksboks is so hard and needs a ( better ) keymapping. Unfortunately we need it to be a real great "stay room pc/media center".
Integrated or not Linksboks and XBMC need to have a complete keymapping so Webbanane please don't leave it and thanks for you job.

Pease read and support http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=26796 for a international keyboard for a confortable xbox media center for all.

Thanks

SAME (Sorry About My English)

After with speaking to ysbox earlier today, I made an attempt at synchronizing the branch with the current trunk. I succeeded. I currently am playing with the latest and greatest xbmc with the latest linksbrowser. I am still experiencing the problems I was getting before (hasn't been an update for a couple months to fix) I'm suspecting its to do with the newer winsockx and emu functions that were added back in the day. I'm not the developer, but I am working with ysbox a bit more directly to smash bugs and keep the project moving. I'll make a tutorial for the other people here smart enough to build your own XBMC, so they can sync the trunk and linksbroswer branch too. Hopefully someone will be able to commit the syncs to the branch to keep it updated.
Well I'm off to play with my build of XBMC 9692 with links. I think this makes me the only one with the latest and greatest!:p

Hi Wienerschnitzel!

Sounds great! Perhaps you like to have a look at the international keyboard implementation at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index...&a tid=581840
Of course it is not adopted for this branch. (I can not build and test it.) If you have questions ... Hope it works ;-)

Deff, I'm writing a tutorial, give it a week or so then you and everyone else will be able to sync. I hope someone with write access to the branch can make some public syncs. It will take 1/2 a cup of brains, aside from just having the XDK, VS .NET 2003, and TortoiseSVN. Right now I'm experiencing problems with UnrarXlib.lib and building, I'll have to figure it out first.


- spiff - 2007-07-27

when you are done submit the patch on sf


- weinerschnitzel - 2007-07-30

It will take a while before i have a good evening to spend on a sync and resolve conflicts and such, so it may take a bit for a patch. Well the tutorial will be missing examples of the conflict resolving, but I have a beta, if you will, of the tutorial here: http://rapidshare.com/files/45854930/LinksSync.docx.html . I'll check back in a little bit.


- ysbox - 2007-08-01

looking good weiner! Smile

But as you might have seen I synced (painful actually, 1000+ changes) to trunk r9749 and committed with a couple of fixes and this "scroll when pointer reaches border" feature, so that you can start fresh...
Everything is not well tested though but still looking OK...

I didn't commit the upcoming keymap changes to ease navigation with a remote, those are for next time Wink

Enjoy!

ysbox Wrote:Videos which are embedded directly into webpages and are recognized with a mime-type (like "video/mpeg") configured for use with xbmc.
This configuration and extensions associated to a certain mime-type is configured though the GUI in "expert mode" (Options menu), and are stored in the UserData/LinksBrowser/links.cfg file:
http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbmc/branches/linksbrowser/XBMC/userdata/LinksBrowser/links.cfg?revision=8593&view=markup

Currently the file is downloaded then played, passing only the url to let mplayer/paplayer handle the streaming is not supported currently.

what about flash videos, for example on sites like youtube.com, I know they were not supported on the standalone linksboks, has this feature been added to this integration?


- stuaxo - 2007-08-09

It would be cool if this does get integrated... possibly abstrating the interface to the browser would be cool, then a mozilla widget could be implemented as an alternate dll ?
In the meantime we would have links for xbox.


- blaize - 2007-08-09

flash video isnt available.

but i've been reading about Gnash, and opensource flash video player.
maybe when/if they guys working on implementing linksboks could take a look at it and see if it's do-able to implement.
Gnash isnt finished, but the current beta is able to play youtube videos.


- weinerschnitzel - 2007-08-12

Well I've got time for patches for SF but I have to get familiar with that too.


- meddle - 2007-08-13

Is there a way to browse the internet from a script of XBMC that you just run from the scripts button. On the forum from Xbox Scene I saw that somebody posted that you can either compile it yourself (which I have tried, without any luck) or run it as a script. I have never heard of this before so is it correct?

Also is it possible to compile the current CVS of XBMC with the last updated Linksboks?
Thanks for any help.
