Mythzilla
After our conversation the other day on this list and perking some type of
sick interest I've started working on Mythzilla... I've got the graciously
pointed to KDE tutorial code that uses a simple KHTML browser as it's main
code.

I've looked at mythvideo/music/gallery and I -think- I'll be able to figure
out the right thing to do...might need some help, as I'm a total noob to
QT/KDE programming as well as c++. I'm an old time C programmer, which
might actually hinder me :)

The one downside I see so far is that it appears that KHTML is only a KDE
object, which would add a dependency that many might not want allocate the
disk space to...but unless there is a equivilent in QT it's gonna have to
stay a dependency, I ain't writing a HTML render.

Anyways, with a bit of work I hope to have a 'Hello World' as a proof of
concept by Tuesday or so....don't expect much more than showing
www.mythtv.org in a Myth context using KHTML.

Rob, there's QTextBrowser which is what I was considering using when I
got around to looking at MythMail...

(see bottom of this page for a screen shot:

Docs are here:

OHHH, that looks like it might be just the ticket! Thanks for the tip, now
off into more unexplored country.

I don't know if it handles thet network transport though... So that
might be a problem. Also, its probably very basic... But anyway, maybe
it would do for some simple sites/pages.

You might also be interested in looking at Konqueror embedded. I dont
think it has any KDE dependencies.

RE: Mythzilla [ In reply to ]
I spent the evening so far working on Mythzilla....unfortunately, my lack
of ++ knowledge is hindering me...I having a hard time understanding
how I'm going to wedge either a QTextBrowser or KHTML widget into
a MythContext. This is probably a simple issue for you ++ dudes, but I
ain't one. I'll continue working on it into the moring and I guess I'm
going to have to give myself a crash corse in ++.
