[QUOTE="TritonT, post: 187989, member: 26020"] I agree with infinityloop that MediaPortal should not be trying to compete with full function browsers, there are just not enough hours in the day for anyone or any team inside the MediaPortal community to do it! Not only that, it’s perfectly possible to launch a ‘real’ browser from the home menu anyway. But it would be great to have a ‘web render engine’ that worked inside MediaPortal, this has not been achieved by any of the Plugin attempts. An example of where this would add a nice function is My Radio. Radio stations are constantly referring people back to their web page for competitions, information and pictures. By having a field in the TV Database for ‘associated web page’ while listening to the radio station you could also be seeing the web page (with limited amount of navigation ability and maybe an option to launch the page in a ‘real’ browser). There are plenty more opportunities in MediaPortal to use such a ‘web render engine’. I assume embedding Gecko in some form is still the way to go, are there any other options? [/QUOTE]
