looking really lovely! Can you get it up on the SVN Repo Installer so we can get updates automatically?

I'm planning auto-update capability for the next release :-)

If they see one from "TwitterGadget", they know I'm probably at school. If they see one from "Twitpic", "Tumblr" or "twitterfeed", they know they'll be going to an external website. (When it comes available) if they see a tweet from "Xbox 360" they'll know I'll probably be playing games, no matter what the content of the tweet is.
Where the tweet comes from is very important to me because it plays a significant part in my communication with other tweeple. Having a tweet say it comes from "web" when it doesn't is a big problem for me, it's as simple as that.
I've just finished up testing for my OAuth flow, so the tweet source will be available in the next release :-D

I see you have added translation support.. No need to code up an entire class.
XBMC already have support, see other scripts, plugins.
A hint is to adopt that since it will be a translation project started for all addons soon.

awesome, thankyou so much
can't wait!
@AsylumFunk, could any good GUI or features and functions ideas be borrowed from the Twitter app for Verizon's FiOS TV?

Personally I like the OSD (On Screen Display) look of it, and that it that way would really be skin independent
What do you think, its interface looks very good right displayed on-top of the video like that right?

Great script as is but someone always wants more!
My wish list:
-Ability to set so anything watched is automatically tweeted. Understanding not everyone would want this and ppl would have different preferences, I think best set so each option is switchable, ie 'auto tweet movies watched from the library on/off' and 'auto tweet from video/file mode on/off' or 'Auto tweet after 5 consecutive mintues watched on/off'.
The latest being ideal for my use as I often quickly check the quality of video after ripping/downloading.
On/off switching would also allow you to autotweet most content via library mode (if switched for example) and if you didnt want to tweet something, then watch it via the files mode instead (files mode switched off).
-Add IMDB links to tweets when played from library as Boxee's twitter does. ppl love links!
I am not sure how feasible these wishes are but for me, being lazy (or perhaps wanting to put my time to better use!), would be ideal to have a suitable auto tweet function rather than manually tweet.
lovin' your work!

Works pretty good, though I couldn't get the twitter account settings option to work. Other than that, nice work!
auto-tweeting as well as nice GUI like Gamester17 would be pretty awesome too

Probably a stupid question, but how do I keep this script running in the background so I can have it prompt me to tweet what I'm currently watching/listening to?
I can run it fine - it accepts user/pass fine and allows me to check DM's etc, the only thing I've somehow missed is the ability to keep the script running rather than having it launch from the Scripts menu.
However, whenever I try to return from the menu of xTweet, it stops running.
[edit] So, if I have a video playing, and then go back to the menu while it's playing, then go back to the Scripts menu, then select xTweet, it will give me the option to "tweet about this video?" and actually tweets successfully. But that's mega clunky - for my test it was something like 9 button presses to get to the point where I could tweet and then return, so I am definitely doing something wrong.

The best way is to setup a keypress to have the app pop up no matter whats happening, even while watching a movie.
I have edited my Keymap.xml
and replaced regular record tag with
<record>XBMC.RunScript(Q:\Scripts\xTweet\default.py)</record>
anything is possible, e.g. #1 key
<one>XBMC.RunScript(Q:\Scripts\xTweet\default.py)</one>
Now my Q. How do we retreive the imdb url from xbmc? xTweet currently uses to compose it's message...
self.player.getPlayingFile()

I've been keeping an eye on this tread for a while in the hope that xtweet would implement automatic tweeting of whatever you are watching/listening to. In the meantime I have found another script that does the job:
