WEb Browser for Enigma2 (DM500HD)

[shumifan50]

I am looking for a web browser for the DM500HD, but the only browser I have found so far is the links browser and that is very old and I am not even sure it will run on Enigma2. So before I go down that path, are there any other browsers out there? My need is for watching IP security cameras on the TV using the dreambox, so I also need a M-JPEG codec for it all to work.
Any ideas?

Just found a thread on DreamElite forum where a guy recons he has made Qtbrowser and Links browser work on DreamElite. Maybe of enough of us prod there it might become a standard plugin.
This is the link:

I can confirm the Qtbrowser runs on my DM8k, not tried on the 500HD - but it should work. You will need the keyboard to control the browser - you can't use the remote!
Was going to see if iPlayer with a VPN would allow me to watch BBC......

I found the Qt Browser on the IHAD site, but sadly it has 2 very severe limitations:
a. It needs the DMM keyboard (or a USB keyboard) - it cannot be used from the remote control. Also requires a USB mouse.
b. It does not integrate with media player. I think this means it is not possible to watch video etc through the browser and this sort of negates its benefit.

I have solved my main requirement for the browser: to view IP ecurity cameras, by writing IPCamViewer; IPCamViewer allows viewing and control of IP security cameras from Enigma2 STBs.
