If you own a pocket pc and see how you can navigate from link to link, this is how I would like it personally. Developing a way (an easy way of course), to input text is the tricky part. Like mentioned, this could be a keyboard that pops up when a button is pushed or even the use of the numeric keypad on the remote. If the user wants to use the numeric keypad on the remote to input text, it would work like most cell phones when you compose a text message. ie: hitting the "2" twice will give you a "B" or hitting "6" three times will give you a "O".
Very much agreed its not practical as your primary solution for web browsing. I'll admit that if I had to type this post on the number pad I would go crazy! I have a lot of "favorites" that I open and just scroll from link to link with barely any text input. If using a pc based client (rather than an extender), you could just pick up the keyboard. Quote:
What if your sending a 1080p? The text would be so small unless you sit close to the screen. |

I like the idea of not having to leave sage for anything, like switching over to IE. I don't use my HTPC for anything but sage and IE. If sage had a web browser I could eliminate the exit and never have to switch back to windows (except tweaking). I would probably also enable FSE.
Most of the time when surfing, I put sage into a window next to IE so I can watch at the same time. So having the video playing while in the web browser, like when in the guide or menus, is important. Thanks! |

Opera has answered both of those questions - it has very good keyboard navigation, and the ability to smoothly resize the web page (text, images, placement) to make it readable from a distance... Pity it cannot be embedded though, and it will never work on an MVP.

So I guess in reading through this post and some of the links I am unclear as to what options are possible for an embedded browser. I've been playing with Studio adding a page, layouts etc. My intent is to add a browser page so I can look at my IP web cam. I'd prefer an embedded page and not opening an IE window or such.

Me too.
I'd like to browse my IP cams with native Sage browsing. I haven't had the time, but was klugding around studio trying to accomplish this myself. It'd be a real nice feature.

FWIW, if you an embed a real IE 7 browser in-line, it could open up a lot of new options to sage, such as the ability to use NetFlix 'watch now' option w/in the 10 ft. interface.

Any chance of reviving this thread now that we have HD Extenders?
Not asking for much maybe just a web scrape of some sort? I'm interested in a website that updates traffic reports in the Los Angeles area. We don't get much weather here--but boy do we get traffic. |

I use this sometimes http://www.seeita.com/TF/index.shtml
Made a menu item for it and setup a webpage with basic links that i would navigate from the browser. It isnt the best experience but it does work |
