Hi,

i would love to be able to share interesting finds with friends that use xbmc, too. Why not use google plus or diaspora for this?

Select content inside an addon, press share, choose contact, done.
That contact should then get a notification (xbmc could parse his g+-profile for specific flags like [XBMC]).
Upon selecting the message, he should be represented with any metadata my addon did display for this entry, and with another click any needed dependencies (any addons) come up with a prompt, and get installed. Afterwards the shared content automatically starts playing.

What do you think about it?

You asked for it - i think this request is complete bullshit

Next time please use the search function:

as it is now, whenever i find/see something i want to send a friend, i have to close xbmc, google the content i just watched through an addon (like the online portal of a local tv channel), and share the link via browser.
this feels like the informational stone age, i have no idea in what way this workaround could possibly be acceptable.

Using email for email is unacceptable?

Did you read those links? Checked the addons like ShareSocial and trakt.tv they talk about in those?
Did you try them?

If they don't do exactly what you want you are free to improve them.

1990 just called... did you just sleep during any technological advancements of the last 20 years?

That xbmc-dev was so nice to edit his post retroactively.

Any ideas what a "SUGGESTION" is supposed to be?
Seriously, a mediacenter of 2013 without any real integration of social media (be it FB, g+, diaspora or whatever),
is a fail, and way beyond the current needs.

Ever wondered why Boxee (a fork of xbmc) supported social media out of the box? well, think about it, good luck.

how's that Boxee working out for you now... ?

Although davilla has a good point the other point is you can already do this with the add-ons linked above if you want to be able to post to other things then you need to convince one of the addon devs to do it because if I have my say social media integration will never be out of the box

useless.

Hey welcome XBMC to the world of failed Media Centers.

Lol, xbmc was around before social media sites existed and will still be here when they've gone the way of AltaVista

[davilla]

WHAT ? AltaVista is gone ?, who do I email ?

[StuW]

Not gone, but not in the mainstream like it was before Google.
