running chrome (or other win programs) from xbmc - farside847 - 2012-08-04
I have been searching the site to find the best way to run chrome (or other built in browser) in xbmc. I have been playing with the "advanced launcher" tool, but it doesnt seem like a very clean solution, you end up having to click through multiple layers of navigation to do it. Can a browser be added in the sub-navigation under programs?
Let me know your suggestions. Thanks!

When you have created your chrome launcher, you can add it as favorite and then add this favorite as a submenu entry of your XBMC home menu. It can't be more clean.

thank you for the reply! that video shows exactly what I want to do. Everything works fine until I go into the skin settings and can set up custom submenu items, but only for add-ons, I can not seem to select a favorite. Is this possible within the standard confluence skin? Or do I need a better skin?

Default confluence skin do not support custom submenu entries. You need to use another skin.
