xbtweet updated

** You need an XBMC on Windows install just to do the 0Auth, after that you can use it on any other platform. **

I have updated Itay Weinberger's xbtweet script to work with dharma.

The script installs on xbmc windows just fine. If you want to use it on your ATV2 (and I guess this method will work for the Live version too) this method SHOULD work:

BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS: READ, READ and READ again.

1. FIRST Install xbmc on a windows machine
2. Install xbtweet v1.1 on the windows machine
3. Configure the script (enter twitter username)
4. Run the script (Programs > Addons > xbtweet)
5. Script will show popup, click OK
6. Browser will open, click allow, take note of pincode
7. Enter the pincode in the xbtweet popup, click ok
8. safe c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\xbtweet\resources\settings.cfg somewhere
9. Install xbtweet on your ATV2 (winscp the zipfile to /private/var/mobile and choose install from zipfile in XBMC)
10. Copy (use winscp) the settings.cfg from step 8 to: /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/xbtweet/resources
11. Configure xbtweet to use 0auth, user/pass is NO LONGER working
12. Tweet away

This is just a quick guide on how i got this script working on my ATV. I dont have the time or the python knowledge to provide any support. Use it at your own risk.

Updated ! Fixed autoexec.py issue, download 1.1.0a
xbtweet v1.1.0a (mediafire link)

Hey there, looks like a nice add-on!
Too bad I can't get it to work

Installed it in Windows, choose 0auth in the settings and filled in my username.
But I never get asked for the Twitter PIN number?

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Did you get the popup ? Logging ?

Glad u got it working. I'm going to try it out. Can yoy make a video of how to gwt it working maybe since you won't be giving long term support. That will help alot of people.

Nope, did not get a popup...

This is the only reference to the script I could find in the log:
13:30:23 T:9164 M:1163665408 DEBUG: ADDON: cpluff: 'Plug-in script.xbtweet has been installed.'

Then you didn't run the script, after configuring run the script from Programs > Addons, on firsttime run it will show the popup.

How would this work on Live when it requires a web browser pop-up to authenticate and connect your Twitter account?

#fail

That is the VERY reason I wrote this howto, so people like yourselfs would UNDERSTAND how to get this running on systems that do NOT have a browser.

HINT: READ the howto.

#ueberfail

The biggest fail...? Requiring a Windows machine to load it onto a Linux/Live install.

I personally avoid Windows, unless I am at work (where I am on a managed workstation).

Not trying to rain on your parade. But you need a Windows machine to get this to work, so don't act like every thing is candy and roses because your "guide" gets it working on XBMC Live. It is more of a hack than anything else.

Ah, I missed the fact that you have to start the script in the Program Add-ons. Sorry about that
