Well after some more tests, it seems that this site with the stock browser does not show the send to option.
The site does not set the correct mimetypes for the media, and for whatever reason the stock browser does no more set the correct one based on file extensions.
Next version will have some filter based on file extensions too to allow the function to work on bad coded sites
The extensions covered are :
Code:
<data android:pathPattern=".*avi" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*asf" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*divx" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*f4v" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*flv" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*m2v" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*m2ts" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*m3u" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*m3u8" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mkv" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mp3" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mp4" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*m4v" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mpeg" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mpg" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mov" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*ogg" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*mts" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*rm" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*rmvb" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*ts" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*vob" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*webm" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*wmv" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*wtv" />
If you think about very standard extensions handled by Xbmc that I forgot just write it here
In the same idea if some of the extension I put are not handled by Xbmc just tell too

Thanks for investigating. I really appreciate it. It's a great feature.
Is there a way to force it on the tablet/phones myself?
I'll check it with a non-stock browser.
EDIT:
Non-stock browser seems to work. Now getting sites to be consistent in presentation of the option is something altogether.
The Chrome Browser Beta didn't work on my limited tests. Dolphin does. In those cases where you can get a "share link" to pop up it's possible to overcome some limits.

I don't think you can force it.
But anyway the new version should be out very soon
I'm tired waiting about answers from Google ....

What also interests me is whether there's a Google Chrome extension for their desktop browser that does the same thing. I'll often browse, see a video or some other podcast and want to do the same thing "send to xbmc".
Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Ok here we are
Version 1.5 is now on-line.
- New Background for default Skin.
- New Logo.
- New Widget with remoting functions.
- New options : Screen On / Disable Keyguard.
- Wol icon change to Special Functions when connected.
- New functions : Scan & Clean Library (Audio & Video).
- New function : Long press Keyboard button to activate Keymap mode.
- Remove permission READ_PHONE_STATE.
- Call actions & notifications + sms forward are now available as plugins.
- Now only free version. You can buy the unlocker to unlock themes.
If you use the call actions or notification you now need to install the plugin.
Plugins needs to be started at least once to register correctly.
For early buyers of the previous full version that was banned (still needs final confirmation but apparently because of one screenshot containing the poster of Avatar ...) ,
I'll do refund
on request as soon as my google checkout balance is positive to avoid currency change taxes on my bank account.
The google part of 30% will be paid by me so please do the switch to the unlocker so I don't loss too many.
I'll send an email to all buyers soon to explain this.
Plugins and unlocker may make a little time to appear on the Market.

There's no more donation version but an unlocker.
It's still published on the market, but the unlocker will nearly never be updated so not a problem to provide it by other ways
(Ps: Check your mail)

Hey, just an idea
Did that thing with the two widgets, but of course there are double buttons right now.
Plugins are not showing. Patience.
Thx
