Safari HD: good on Macs, great on Apple TV

Safari HD

Long time readers of this blog know how much I would love to see a web browser plugin for the Apple TV.

I guess my prayers have been answered. Brandon Holland (yes that same guy who’s been contributing a lot lately) has just informed me that he’s working on just that: a Backrow version of Safari.

His target date is March 1st. He said this is due mainly to his bandwidth allocation for this month. I guess his Skype Plugin proved to be pretty popular.

    AHA, you just wanted to keep the goodness for yourself..... Thanks dude, with ppl like you and Brandon in this world, it can only get better.

    Oh, man. I just can't keep any a secret around here, can't I?

    Yes, I got the files uploaded a couple of days back. I was going to do a detailed post on it and maybe do a video. But since, the word is out, there is just no time for that.

    I'll go ahead and write up a post on it now.

    Whoohoo, the files are available, thanks Brandon, and appletvhacks for hosting it. I copied it to my safe updated 1.0->1.1, ran the installer, Safari HD and Webkit has installed successfully, But when I do a google search or enter a web adress, I get "Error - Press play/pause to restart..." Hmm. Anyone some ideas?
  • luck
    I'll second that.
  • APPLE if your out there give Brandon Holland a JOB NOW!

    Great to find out that Brandon and this site is around. I think this will make apple tv more precious than ever...

    This is great - thanks Brandon! I picked up an AppleTV specifically b/c I knew this community was actively working to make it better - Hulu.com/ABC HD player on it would certainly be sweet...
  • sojojo
    This is awesome!

    I've been wanting this too!

    All I want is an easy way to see the news and weather on my tv. This will probably do the trick!
  • This will be great!

    I cannot wait for this... why?

    Hulu.com on my HDTV.
  • luck
    Indeed, Brandon IS the man.
