[QUOTE="orencha, post: 643505, member: 11329"] Is this plugin under active development? I like it a lot, mostly the idea of keyboardless / mouseless browsing (aka "RemoteBrowsing"). I never used a web-browser plugin in MP before, because my system is mouseless / keyboardless, so I found the whole idea useless. [B]The "RemoteBrowsing" concept is simply brilliant[/B], and even wife-friendly (my wife now use this plugin to check her FaceBook account... and also Gmail, which works fine once you choose "HTML-only" mode). However, I would change the behavior of the link selection: * Either change the "confirm" key for the link code from "Info" (or F9) to something more intuitive, such as "OK", or: * Make all links with the same number of digits. with leading zeros (one, two or three digits, according to total number of links in the page), so the user only hits digits on the remote, with no need for a "confirm" key. Additionally, I found two annoying bugs: * Sometimes, mostly when browsing "back" to a previous page, the plugins adds numbers again for all links, so each link looks like "21 21", "22 22" etc... the third and fourth time it gets worse: "21 21 21 21", "22 22 22 22" etc... One solution to think of, is inserting a special "META" tag in the HTML file after adding the link numbers, that will be used as a flag (to check wether or not link numbers should be added) * In some websites, the above bug will cause an infinite loop, hanging the plugin and requiring MediaPortal restart.
