Orb Browsing

So like the title says I'm looking for a program to browse ord with. I hate having to open up my web browser and go through 5-6 steps every single time I need a vid to play.

I have coreplayer so thats the player I want to play files with. Just need something to browse folders with.

I know both android and iphone have this and it seems like a very simple program to write so just wanted to know if anyone had or know of such a program.

Check out Kinoma Play. It has Orb integrated as a service. I use it daily for streaming music when I'm at work. The interface is very well done. It's smooth and has great transitions very iphone or android-esque. The single major drawback is TV streaming is not supported.

Yeah, Kinoma play is pretty great, I just wish it wasn't so damn expensive. Their pricing is crazy.

The free version of Kinoma Play is great except for two issues, IMO. It takes over file associations, which need to be changed back with something like Total Commander, and I swear Kinoma then takes them over again. It's also inconvenient to exit the program instead of minimizing it. The option is only at the highest menu level. I use it for Orb regularly, though. I've heard that the next version of CorePlayer might have Orb browsing built in, or as a plug-in, but like you I'm surprised no other app has this functionality.
