Web Browser - Autosize for MCE and Spotlight apps???

Postby kolemieux on Wed Oct 20, 2004 5:33 pm

There are MANY ver cool web-sites being ported for MCE and Snapstream is using them as well now in their Online Spotlight. Included is a new MSN-TV site with some great video, and new Movielink, Cinemanow, Napster, ESPN... They've been discussed before.

And many others. It seems to me that MCE's browser interface and "kinda" Snapstream's Firefly interface have a browser engine that does some autosizing to make the pages display well. There are many of these coming and would LOVE to get Xlobby to auto-size them properly.

Here is the new MSN TV site.

Is there any way to get these to fit nice-n-cozy in an Xlobby browser window. It seems like some auot-fit or zoom control may be needed.

Steven??? I posted this one a few times but am assuming no for now but think this would be a KILLER option for Xlobby loyalists.

Thanks all

The MSN link may be down @ the moment but is VERY GOOD. It's essentially the MSN Video Page ported for HTPC use usually MCE. I get it nice with Firefly's Online Spotlight as well.

The video works great in Xlobby in playback its just all of these pages dont seem to size-fit well. I am sure you can see what I mean.
