Access to file mgr and browser from XBMC

Fri Mar 20, 2015 9:16 pm

I just got my Raspberry Pi B+ today. I installed XBMC and love it. But how do I access the file manager and browser? I can't find the options for that.

XBMC is now called KODI, so did you install

KODI/XBMC Software in Raspbian :?:

Maybe you installed an Operating System which uses the KODI/XBMC interface :?:

OpenElec
OSMC
XBian
Raspbmc

I installed Raspbmc from this web page.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

Is there a way to get to the browser with this install?
Thanks

Raspbmc does not have a Web Browser ;)

So is it not possible to have raspbmc and still have a browser? Can I add a browser from somewhere?

This is an alternative solution to have both Raspbian and KODI Software
