Mouseless Web Browser

Hi there,

here I release my new project “Mouseless Web Browser” for Kodi. Different from some of my older solutions with IE/FF I use phantomjs to capture web pages. phantomjs is a webkit and it is available for different operation systems. I use Java injection to add numbers to the links, so it is possible to navigate with “numbers” for example „12 – OK“. The pages are not shown live, just the image of a site. With the remote you can scroll up/down to view the whole page. Of course displaying of videos is impossible. Later on maybe a extraction of video will be available too.

Download my repro:

phantomjs, download phantomjs für Raspberry (as reference)
-the browser can be navigate via remote, alternate input 0-9 or via context menu
