I'd like to see people be able to rate their series and episodes in XBMC and have it post back to the site, if they have a proper accountid entered. Not sure how this would work in XBMC, since part of it is on the scraper end and part would be on the info screens, but I think it'd help get more accurate rating data on stuff. Obviously it only helps people using my site.
Additionally, I'll soon have a callback for watched/unwatched for each episode, so users will be able to go on the website and see which episodes in a series they still haven't seen. This will be opt-in for their account on our end, since some people might have "Big Brother" issues with it.
Perhaps these things could be implemented behind the scenes, so they don't require user interaction? So if they have an accountid set and rate an episode, it'll get posted back to the site? Perhaps with a toggle in the video settings to disable it if desired?
