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:

Mark's 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)

Subscription cost

So is the cost $60 or $35? I see both prices. Also it says Early Access. Does this mean its beta software and it will cost $35 when done, or is the first year always $60 and subsequent years will be $35?

I am a little confused with the hdhomerun setup. their website says that one needs to purchase a $60 annual sub for the DVR and EPG to work. So my question is does that interfere with the TV Guide and recording that I can get with a TVHeadend?
