Kylo Browser Built for TV

[bdgbill]

Has anyone here tried Kylo? I was surprised when I got no hits when searching the forum.

I am really new to browsing the internet from my TV. In the first five minutes I realized I could see almost nothing from the sofa, even after cranking up windows font size to max. I searched around looking for a Firefox plugin that would help and ran into Kylo.

Installed it yesterday. It's not perfect but it's far better than stock Firefox. Nice 10 foot interface, nice screen alignment tool. Even got the wife to find and play Survivor in HD from the network website on her own. I was also able to comfortably read the website of my local newspaper from my sofa this morning.

I've used Kylo in Windows Media Center for a long while. It's pretty darn good for mouse users. No keyboard is needed -- an on-screen keyboard is provided when needed.

Somewhat eccentric but eminently usable. Just installed it using the Programs plugin, and it works just fine.

I use it for Netflix, I have a custom task in NPVR that fires up Kylo with a bookmarked page. It's easy to use with a wireless mouse. Annoyingly I cant get the Hauppauge remote to work. I commented on the kylo forum and got some response, but nothing that solved why it wont respond to key presses generated by the remote.

I tried this a few years ago but it seemed a little "clunky". I just tried it again and it seems to work very nicely. They just open-sourced it yesterday so personally I'm not sure if this is good or bad news.

Thank you OP. That browser looks great, just what I've been looking for!
