Thanks, that Wii U comparison is pretty much the idea: a proper place for HTML5 apps and tools on the console.
You can turn the music off in Settings (the gear icon in the toolbar). If the gear doesn't respond for you, you can also edit...
Hey @lordelan , your idea is live: the Jellyfin client is in the catalogue and attached to your request on the ideas board.
Wanted to thank you properly, because this one made the platform better beyond the app itself. Getting it working meant...
New release is out, and it's a double: the engine work from this sprint is now in the shipped build - engine coverage went from roughly 70% at launch to ~83% (gap list updated: docs.brewser.io/docs/engine-status) and Brewser now checks for...
Ports are absolutely welcome - the catalogue isn't originals-only. The one hard requirement is rights, not originality: you need to be allowed to redistribute the game. That means your own work, something under an open license (MIT, GPL, CC -...
Exactly right - the shortcut is a plain NRO like any other homebrew, so standard forwarder tooling can chainload it. Double hop under the hood, but you end up with what you described: home-menu icon → straight into the app 🙂 And "straight in"...
Interesting but if that homebrew forwarder is a NRO file, then theoretically I could do an NSP forwarder onto that.
Sounds a little stupid as I would end up with:
Icon (is a forwarder) on home menu launches a homebrew forwarder launches Brewser...
Would it be possible to have a forwarder on the home menu (Horizon) that directly launches into a certain web app, e.g. a potential Jellyfin client?
That would probably need Brewser to somehow accept launch parameters, similar to RetroArch which...
Already in 🙂 Every app's detail page has a Create shortcut button - under the hood Brewser accepts launch parameters (a target app id at startup, RetroArch-forwarder-style), so the shortcut boots straight into that app instead of the home screen...
Saw it, thanks! that's the first community idea on the board, so congrats on the milestone! 😄
For everyone else: votes live here https://brewser.io/brewser-ideas. The runtime already ships a video pipeline, so a Jellyfin client (and PLEX) is...
Damn, that was my biggest hope when I saw this thread.
So I cannot use this to use things like PLEX, Jellyfin, Disney+, YouTube, Deezer and so on "in the browser"?
Regardless everything else reads pretty nice so thank you very much!
