Browser for 7MC?

[Azhar]

Anyone know of a addon for 7MC that lets you use a browser from within the Media Center?

There's a Mozilla browser called Kylo that's very TV friendly. I'm surprised it's not installable to run in Windows Media Center.

you can setup and launch any application from within WM7

My next question would naturally be: how? :-P

Media center Studio should do the trick. It will let you add an entry point for any executable. It seems like IE and Chrome work fine, but FF has glitches. I'm sure all the info you need is in their forums.

Yup, found that after the previous poster mentioned Media Studio. Thanks!

Times like this I wish I had a Gyration remote instead of a Harmony for air-mouse capability, but oh well. If you're using a browser, you'd want a keyboard and mouse anyways.

Media Studio is awesome! Wish I found this before. I was having a ton of fun with it over the weekend. Got rid of a bunch of stuff I never use (7MC's Movies, Extras, Sync, Learn More, etc) and renamed Media Browser to Movies, and found some new themes and added Kylo to it, and made 3 new shortcuts to specific web sites (YouTube XL, Google, Hulu (using Hulu Desktop)).

I can see much more potential for this app down the road.
