GeckoBrowser v0.1 [21-04-2010] *NEW* (1 Viewer)

Re: WebBrowser v0.6 [08-09-2009] *UPDATED*

Yap, to find the mouse again you can move it to the top. But as soon as the mouse is a couple of seconds on the webbrowser it disappears.

Firefox uses a engine named "Gecko". This plugin uses the same engine to display websites. It's only the engine to display the site, nothing more. So there will be no firefox extensions support.

The first post is a little bit outdated. I'll add the link as soon as i release this thing

Nice to hear that devlopment of this little gem has resumed! The .5 version works like a charm, but i've got 1 feature request:
-pages opening in a new tab/window do not open. I don't think tab support is a good idea for a browser in MP, but a dialogue asking if the new window should open and then load instead of the current window would be a great improvement!

How about using the cursor controls to move the mouse.
OK for left click etc...?

I think that would be the ideal combination, so you can use the "numbers" to quickly jump links but keep the posibility of the mouse when you want/need it and maybe make the "info" button a rightclick.

From your screenshot it seemed that also the input field gets a number, it would be nice if pressing the number added to the input field would call up the MP keyboard.

This greasemonkey script works like that in a way, it acts like a phonestyle input, i rather would see the keyboard thats used trougout MP tho, maybe this script gives you a idea how to call that up. (altho it just look like a messy spreadsheat to me )

Thx again....

The mp keyboard will be called when a input textbox is selected, but at the moment i'm struggeling with the performance of mp when the browser AND the mp keyboard is opened at the same time. The typing speed is really really really slow then (not everytime, but almost everytime...).
Right now i can't figure out what the problem is. I think it's the webbrowser who runs in the same thread as MP, but i don't know how to avoid that. Some help from a developer would be nice

Re: WebBrowser v0.6 [08-09-2009] *UPDATED*

perhaps what is happening is the keyboard is constantly trying to pull up because the textbox is selected?
(In other words, perhaps your code is searching for the text cursor and then sends the call to open the MP keyboard.)

If this is the case, then the constant scans and calls to the keyboard (which is already opened, so it does nothing) is using up all CPU time.

If this is the case, maybe add an if statement along the lines of 'If mp.keyboard is open, skip this function' or add it to the actual call itself 'if text cursor is present and mp.keyboard is not open then open keyboard'

This is pure speculation and a blatant guess, but I have had similar situations in other languages and calls in which it caused the same, stuttering, slow results.
Adding in the clause which ensures it is not trying to call the function 100 times a second resulted in drastically better performance.

Good luck!
I can't wait to try this out!!

No instructions for placing .dll files

Hi

Thanks for the plugin.

I notice you have a .rar file, but there are no instructions whether the .dll files belong in plugins/windows or plugins/process etc...
Also you should edit the first post to let people know they need to download the microsoft dll file and place it in the mediaportal folder.

Regards
Kiwi

Any word, 0.5 causes some weird crashes, might be skin related..
