Hi there,
I run a new website at http://mymoviescollection.net that allows you to manage your Movies and TV Shows collection and also mark each ones you've already seen or not.
This is quite an handy tool because it also has a mobile version, and it may be configured to send tweets and create Facebook wall posts each time you mark a Movie/Episode as seen.
I'm no planning on building a simple API that will allow external services to mark movies/episodes as seen based maybe on the iMDB id and/or season/episode numbers.
I'm XBMC user since the early Xbox only versions and I would like to have a addon to do this.
What the addon should do:
- Have a configuration screen where the user should insert is username and api key for the service (that he got from the website), and this values should be stored somewhere;
- When the user is seeing a movie, in the moment XBMC marks it as seen on it's own interface it should also send an HTTP request to my new website API containing: username, api key, imdb id, season (if applicable), episode (if applicable);
- On my website side it would mark the Movie/Episode as seen just like if the user done it on the web interface and tweeting and facebooking as choosed or not by the user.
Is this even possible?
(Mainly the part of firing up a HTTP request at the event of the movie being marked as seen automatically)
Can someone put me on the right track to do this?
Is someone with xbmc addons coding experience interested in doing this if I provide the API?
