Ben_j Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) I'd like something to browse the web on my media center, without killing my eyes or having to be at 1m of the screen. Is there any Media Center plugin ? Any tricks on a regular browser to make it comfortable on a Media Center ?EDIT : found out I could make the icons bigger on Opera. And I fixed the defaut zoom to 120%. It's better but my eyes suck so... I need a bigger TV screen :/ Edited May 19, 2010 by Ben_j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Try this, it may work on Win7 http://www.anpark.com/software.aspxFAQDoes MCEBrowser run on Windows Vista?Yes, sort of. MCEBrowser is fully functional on the 32-bit editions of Windows Vista. The 64-bit version of Windows Vista is currently not supported because of the way MCEBrowser uses 32-bit ActiveX controls. I am currently working on a new version of MCEBrowser that will be supported on the 64-bit editions of Windows Vista.

allen2 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 There is also firefox and the CTRL++ (zoom function). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless it uses the installed version of IE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 It looks like it's just a webbrowser control - the default version of IE on 64bit Vista and Win7 is still IE 32bit, so if it's simply using webbrowser control calls, or the internetexplorer.application COM object, technically it would be using a 32bit "browser" (COM object, really).

(WLMessenger, Emulators, stuff like that... Anything that could avoid having to close Media Center to do cool stuff ) Edited May 19, 2010 by Ben_j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_j Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 MCEBrowser is not working. It doesn't show up in the bonus section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
