I REAAALLLLYYYY Need to get a working web browser on my raspberry pi. It is currently running OSMC and i though i could get chromium on there? Is it possible to get it running and add it to the main menu?
I have googled this and can’t seem to find an answer. I have tried apt-get chromium but I get an error saying that it doesn’t exist or something!
you have to enable the plugin, then someone with more kodi skills can tell you how to add a “Addon” to home manu. If enabled it will be under “Programs”, you wont be able to trigger chromium direct from kodi, it starts X-windows and then you start chromium from there. That said you wont be able to launch Chromium with a link to a webpage from Kodi
I have tried everything but I can’t seem to find chromium at all. I can’t find it in programs on osmc and when i go into console i had a look around and i can’t seem to find chromium at all…
Goto Settings, Add-on browser, My add-ons, Program add-ons, X11 launcher and enable the plugin.
When you have done that, you got an icon under programs, a “X with a penguin peeking up”, click that and you get a desktop, where you will find a chromium icon.
I installed lxde with chromium based on your instructions, but not able to launch Chromium. Lxde starts fine and I’m presented with the desktop and I also see the web browser icon in the bottom left corner. However, when I click the web browser icon it the screen quickly flashes red and nothing else happens.
Any suggestions that I could try to get Chromium to work?
