Dear darklexus2k9,

I'll try to answer your questions. I must say, though, you're banner in the footer of your messages is extremely annoying and distracting. I would like to ask you to replace it with a non-animated banner. If you look around on this forum, you will see that everybody is very modest regarding stuff displayed in the footer and generally people are expected to adhere to customs and habits of a forum they become a member of.

I also noticed that you write your title in ALL CAPS. Again, if you look around, you'll notice that this is a very rare thing to do. Please, write the title of your messages in normal text, unless that all caps text style is really functional (which I can't imagine, actually).

Now on to your questions.

At least in theory, it is possible to create your own web browser with Revolution. Revolution can do anything the built-in web browser of your operating system can too. Or the other way around, the web browser you already have can probably do everything your new web browser will ever do. Therefore, I am not sure that it makes sense to create a web browser with Revolution. Usually, we use Rev's web browser for very specific things, such as displaying one particular web site or displaying documentation in HTML format or even for playing Flash movies.

What exactly would your friend want to do with Revolution with regard to streaming media? To set up a well-working QT stream, you need dedicated software, such as QuickTime Broadcaster and QT Streaming Server. Once you have set that up, you can receive the stream in any QuickTime player, including Revolution's player object.

Best regards,

Mark

It would certainly be possible to do all this in revolution.

You might need to have a server somewhere that collects the links to tv channels, and checks that they're working. The app could then log in to the server and download the list of channels. The server would also check username/password before sending the list.

The rev browser can display anything your system's browser can (under the hood, they're the same), aso yes, you can have google ads.

Best,

Mark (not the same one!)
