[REQUEST] Facebook addon
#1
Lightbulb 
Hello chaps,

I've been using XBMC for the last 3 years, but now I realise I am missing something.

I have researched the subject, and can understand that the Trakt.tv addon is preferred, albeit due to there's no alternative.

I would like to see a Facebook addon, which can post updates on my behalf (or maybe just display a small dialog box when starting a movie, to see if I want to post it to XBMC, that I am watching it) and show notifications and messages in XBMC.

I imagine a Facebook button in the main menu that takes me to a simple interface, with the latest notifications and messages - maybe even the news feed. How this is best handled and interacted with - using only the arrow keys and letters - is up for the developer to figure out.

Notification and message pop-ups during movies is what I miss the most.


Cheers hoping someone will give it a shot - I will of course happily beta test the fuck out of it.

Not 100% sure what your after, but reading your post gives the impression your not using trakt... (Very strange! lol)

Your post suggestions you want to send messages to XBMC about what its playing - I think it already knows! Huh

Clicky - This updates Facebook, Twitter & Tumblr with your current watching/watched statuses automatically, but if you watch quite a few things on the trot, your mates will find out your watching re-runs of Dynasty.

Do you want your HTPC to interrupt your film/show to tell you that Joanne has "just put the kids to bed" or "I cant believe she said to her yesterday' status reports...? Surely not?

... or do you mean, from within XBMC you want to spam your Facebook/Twitter pages? Big Grin

There are loads of alternatives - but they are crap in comparison to be honest and are not integrated with XBMC.

Trakt is automated, hence why it's recommended.

My opinion is there is no alternative to trakt, because it's not needed. trakt is an original feature and anyone attempting to copy it is doomed to fail anyway.

Trakt is superb, updated in realtime, highly addictive, created by some seriously hardworking fella's and feature requests are easily submitted - as well as looked at and considered/implemented very quickly - with all the addon's being created for it, it's just excellent.

Perhaps, make a request in the trakt utilities addon for a Facebook post section to be added. They may entertain it there. Wink

Just my 2 cents worth.

--EDIT
Also, you may want to look at these, I'm not sure if they will still work with Eden, but they should work with Dharma -

Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't Trakt already do this?
