linksbox works pretty well. it would be better if i had a keyboard.
i thought their was a program that got movie listings for you, sorta like weather?

talk to the lincsbox people. it's nothing to do with xbmc. the linksbox webbrowser is a separate app which we have nothing to do with.
(and no, a webbrowser is not being incorporated into xbmc, so don't ask).

hi,
just fall on this thread, please let me set things straight: as an xbmc user, i don't feel the immediate need of a web browser inside it, and i respect the policy of the xbmc team to avoid including every app under the sun inside it.
i won't deny the fact that i was contacted by runtime some time ago, and he had this idea in mind; i'm not sure he was speaking on behalf of the entire team, or maybe he changed his mind since then, but anyway i made some experiments to embed linksboks into other applications (with xbmc as an *example*), and now i'm planning some long-needed code overhaul which will make that possible.
of course i think making linksboks run under xbmc could be a good programming challenge -and i might do it as a "personal" proof of concept one day if i find the time-, even if it proves to be technically possible and acceptable in terms of memory consumption, xbmc won't have a webbrowser until the xbmc team says so.
as a side note, we're talking about 2 open source apps, so anyone with the skill and interest to do the job can perfectly give it a try.
but i hope it's clear enough that bringing linksboks to xbmc is not in the works as far as i'm concerned for the time being. but should the team here become interested, i may be willing to help.
thanks for reading,
-ysbox (linksboks author)

i have been using xbmc in different cvs`s the last 6 months! this is realy great! :bowdown: ! but i miss one thing, it is possible that this already exists, but i haven`t manage to find it out. i would like to read regular web pages via xbmc. is this possible? then i mean all web pages, not only some sites that is in different streams or feeds via phyton scripts that i already have installed.
anyone that know if this is possible?
