[QUOTE="BenderBoink, post: 140233, member: 26371"] [b]Status[/b] Hey - it's a long time since anyone replied to this.... I have been working on it and basically it is a dedicated plugin that just fires up IE7 (you can't see IE, it just uses the rendering engine). That's the simple bit... the browser is directed at a web site that has been designed to look the same as MP. Only BlueTwo skin currently, but I have designed it so other skins can easily be applied. Currently it is XHTML and javascript front end with a PHP backend. It is all written using AJAX so pages transitions are seemless (ie no white pages) and a little animation is displayed during page downloads. Menus are XML and content can be either HTML or anything else. Therefore the answer to your question is that it would be a hosted web site(s). If it proves successful I could see it expanding to be able to link to dedicated purpose sites such as online purchasing from your TV or pretty much anything. Currently I have a YouTube and some online TV stations on it but it is only running in dev. My main goal is to provide a framework to be able to develop online TV content, that is appropriate for a TV rather than a computer monitor. For all you FireFox fans - sorry I tried, but IE7's zoom function just work a whole lot better that anything I have found from FireFox (or any other browser). Recoding the whole thing to rescale everything just didn't work and made everything way to complex. I have though of ways to provide personal pages but haven't really come up with a decent solution - if you have one.... Where am I up to: 1. I need a web server to dev/test/run off (PHP, apache) [hint]. 2. Some bugs to sort out. 3. I need feeds (XML/RSS/etc). 4. Once I have a basic site going, I'll look at expanding to provide other services. 5. TV stations are a bit crappy unless you have pretty good bandwidth. 6. Some navigation issues. 7. Need some testers with different hardware - specifically remotes. I'm using HIP and it work pretty well - I didn't have to reprogram anything, but I don't know about others. At the moment I am only developing for MP, but I can't see any reason I couldn't write a plugin for MCE. [/QUOTE]
