[RELEASE] Facebook-Media - Facebook Photo/Video Addon

Great job ruuk, it will keep the wifie busy and me happy. When she is on the social network reading comments as well as responding, I will have a good 3 hours of quiet, been married to long.

I will in the near future have a new non-plugin facebook addon. I already have it working for Boxee. I have a Boxee Box in my media room and wanted to access facebook media from it, and there wasn't an app yet. The app currently allows you to view comments, and I will be adding the ability to post comments as well soon.

It shouldn't take too long to do the XBMC version. Most of the hard work has already been done with the Boxee version.

If anyone uses Boxee and wants to try it out, my Boxee repository is located at:

Looking forward to seeing this addon come to life. I thank you now. You should try to integrate this addon to the actual xbmc library also so after you watch a movie it could post to facebook. There used to be an addon that did that thru twitter/facebook however it no longer works. Just something to think about as I know boxee does this already and I have been waiting for xbmc to get more social (trakt is great but no direct xbmc/facebook integration).

how does this work on an atv2? How can you authorize facebook on the atv2?

Here is the logfile with the error

Hi,

We have created a free iPhone app called ZappoTV to have an alternative way to send your Facebook Photos and Videos (or from your friends) directly to XBMC.

Here is where you can get it:

Let me know what you think about it.

Cheers,

I can't see why you would be getting this error. The connection refused is happening when trying to connect to facebook's web server which pretty much means it has nothing to do with the script directly. The server is refusing the connection before any data is sent, so either for some reason facebook is blocking you from the graph api servers (which seems unlikely) or else through some routing type error the resolved IP is not the actual facebook server (hence the connection is refused)

A couple of questions:

Where are you located?
Are you going through a web proxy?
Do you have any issues with other web scripts?

Here's a pre-release version of my upcoming Facebook Media addon. Everything should work fine, there are just some odds and ends to clean up. If your not using Confluence, then the fonts might not be correct - I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with all the different skins out there.

I don't know and I don't know
I don't have access to the atv2.

Assuming you can get the Web Viewer addon working, then the facebook addon should authorize fine.

Ok, I think everything is basically done for the XBMC version of the Facebook Media addon. This version adds what was missing and fixes some problems and errors I found. I'd really like to get some feedback on how it's working for other people. I've added some code that will fix the fonts for skins other than confluence. The results won't always be perfect, but should be better in any case.

Here's the link.

If you have any problems, let me know. If you don't have any problems, please let me know that too

ruuk, you are the man. What a concept, and the layout is almost flawless.
I guess I do not need the 0.98 plugin for anything other than just looking at pics, but hey, they are here also!

Only thing is the camera in center should be bright, like pic on side when hovering over an image. Other than that it is working great, now to check adding another user.

Great job!!!!! Now some peace and quite from the wifie. She can see her freinds and respond by adding a comment. If she runs into a road block I will let you know. Just a great job for sure.

Update: The only thing with the web viewer authorization, it asks me 4 times if I am done with authorization before moving to next step. Ah, maybe I should check on my verison level of web viewer first.

Will this display new messages live as they are being submitted by a friend on your list?
