themaster1 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Is there a plugin to watch Youtube videos (or other sites) directly in DVBViewer? Ideally such plugin would be useable with a remote. I know there is the option "Open URL" but i need a plugin with a real interface Edited December 15, 2010 by themaster1 Quote Link to comment
SnoopyDog Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 This was discussed very often already. You need a web browser as a plugin. I made it different: i added a menu entry "Youtube" to the DVBViewer main menu which call a windows script that basically opens firefox in full screen mode with this link: http://www.youtube.com/xl This works with my remote control and i can also control the playback volume. Another link is http://www.youtube.com/leanback that works with remote but the "xl" is better for me. And leanback eats some keys from the remote. To return back to DVBViewer i assigned a key that closes firefox with the "Stop" key on my remote. Quote Link to comment

SnoopyDog Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Sorry, i wasn't here 4 a couple of days. There is a program called "OSD-Menu Editor" in the members' area, section "tools". I made a new entry under "htpcHome": Name: YouTube AllowTimeout: FALSE Application: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe Arguments: /c C:\YouTube.cmd Caption: YouTube Description: YouTube Hoover_Image: Home_YouTube.png My "YouTube.cmd" looks like this: @C:\HideConsole @C:\Programme\DVBViewer\ShutdownDVBViewer.exe @C:\Programme\DVBViewer\HideMouse.exe @C:\SetVolume waveout 8192 @"C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "http://www.youtube.com/xl" -fullscreen @C:\SetVolume waveout 65535 @C:\Programme\DVBViewer\CenterMouse.exe @start C:\Programme\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe Edit: This is from my laptop. On my HTPC it looks a bit different. "SetVolume" should not be necessary anymore cause you can control the volume with the remote now. "HideMouse" puts the mouse cursor to bottom right of the screen. "HideConsole" hides the "cmd.exe" window. This batch file is only a quick hack. Maybe someone can write a simple plugin which is doing exactly this - it's better to control things from within a DVBViewer plugin. To switch Firefox reliable to full screen mode i use this plugin: http://www.krickelkrackel.de/autohide/autohide.htm Edited January 1, 2011 by SnoopyDog Quote Link to comment

ramonchin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Hi! ShutdownDVBViewer.exe, HideMouse.exe... are them programs, scripts...? I'm not very keen on programming. Could you help me please? Is there any way to write in the search box using the remote only? Currently I'm able to write numbers only. Thanks. Edited August 8, 2011 by ramonchin Quote Link to comment
