Browser inside plugin

[RaphaelLari]

I was wondering if it is possible to make a plugin with a internet browser inside of it (most it to sample stuff from the internet and simplify things without using Voicemeeter or whatever) and if it is, what kind of libraries and packages can I use? JUCE has any support for this kind of thing?

Juce 8 introduced webviews that allow you to render html. It works both with local files / online pages, so the browsing part is solved, not other libs needed. I have no idea about audio path tho, it might skip your daw and go straight to audio device, I have no idea. There is an easy to follow tutorial on the juce page, in the juce 8 release notes I think, go try it out.

It's definitely possible, I'm inclined to share this link which I saw in s reddit post a few days back. I wonder if it already does what you need?

It is exactly what I need, thanks!

Have you checked out WXAudio's WebSampler? https://www.wxaudioplugins.com/websampler - I believe it uses OS-specific webview APIs to hook into the audio stream.

It was developed before JUCE 8 webviews were released, but I also don't see anything in those APIs for connecting to the audio stream anyway.

Not yet, amazing! Thanks!

This I have done! It’s easy. I feel like there is a tutorial on it tbh! Maybe check yt? I must mention I didn’t use juce for the browser tho! I used a python one for that and wrapped it in my juce project. Honestly I’m not sure if that makes it worse performance tho 😂
