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:
Here are the key features:
-independent from the browser / system
phantomjs, download phantomjs for Windows (Website)
phantomjs, download phantomjs für Raspberry (as reference)
-the browser can be navigate via remote, alternate input 0-9 or via context menu
-favorites
-navigation
-history of the season
-zoom of the pages
-tested for PC and Raspberry
After installation you need to set the path to phantomjs (to download before)
Enter the links with http://
Cache for the favorites will be done once, just wait a bit
Buttons / Remote
0-9 0-9 Link no. Input
Enter OK Input a link using 0-9
NEXT . URL input
PREV , History back
CONT C Link input
STOP X show favorites
BACK ESC back to the menu
Known problems:
-no input fields
-Videos can not be displayed (later)
-Some websites are not working (todo more test)
-not working on win system with non ut-f8 characters (bug in python 2.x)
