Trakt support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would be nice if you reuse the implementation of MP-TVSeries for supporting 
sync with http://trakt.tv/

MP-TVSeries issue number 523: 
http://code.google.com/p/mptvseries/issues/detail?id=523

damien is familiar with that ;)

Thanks,
Yoav

I fully support such a feature!

Sorry but we have our own product that is in direct competition with Trakt, 
Moving Pictures Social (http://social.moving-pictures.tv/). Right now we are 
planning on rebranding in the short term and expanding to TV Shows as well as 
other HTPC platforms in the medium term. Because of this we have no plans to 
implement Trakt support. Sorry!

And sorry, I should have mentioned above, Moving Pictures Social is already 
implemented into Moving Pictures. Sign up on the website and you will get 
instructions and a link to a beta build of Moving Pictures that supports the 
site.

What is your opinion of me supplying a patch that implements this and then it 
is down to user opinion.

To be fair I would find it hard to start backing _another_ site when there is 
already one established that is not only already supported by mptvseries but 
also cross platform via their public api.

Please try to see it from our perspective. Quoting you, "to be fair I would 
find it hard to start backing _another_ site when there is already one 
established". Moving Pictures Social is ALREADY INTEGRATED with Media Portal 
and Moving Pictures. Implementing support for trakt.tv would mean we would have 
to redo a large amount of work that we have already completed. 

And then as I mentioned above, Moving Pictures Social is our horse so to speak. 
Its a project that we have invested a lot of time and effort in. After the last 
years worth of work we have no interest in now giving the competition a leg up.

So I am very sorry, and our stance may change in the future, but there are no 
current plans to implement support for any other social movie sites at the 
moment, including trakt.tv. And because we are invested in a competing product, 
it is highly unlikely we would accept a patch implementing support.

For what its worth it would be possible to create a MediaPortal process plugin 
that implements trakt.tv integration. Moving Pictures provides multiple events, 
classes, and methods for other plugins to pull data from.

Thanks for the help I will look into it.

I'd love to support moving pictures social, but it must have support for tv 
series as well, so there's only one site for movies and series in mp.
Also, the facebook integration as described in the functional requirements 
would be great!
Implement those two major features, and there's no need for takt imho. :-)

As you mentioned, both are planned. We just want to make sure when we add new 
features we do it right. 

Out of curiosity, what would you like to see from Facebook integration?

If I leave out the description in functional requirements and think off the top 
of my head:
1. After watching a movie, in the rating popup, option to upload to facebook:
 -review/comment
 -DVD Cover and name of movie
 -Rating
 ie. The movie will appear as an uploaded image in my facebook wall with a comment and rating

2. Same with TV Series episode

3. Alternative option is to automatically upload a movie that is rated 8 or 
above(Configurable)

fair enough :) I'm already a beta tester of Moving Pictures Social and loving 
it.

Too bad there is no user decision for this, since I'd prefer to use trakt.tv 
(right now). Or an option to do both..

Moving Pictures is intentionally designed to allow other plugins to integrate 
with it. All the events and accessor methods needed to integrate trakt via a 
process plugin are available. If there is enough demand I am sure someone will 
create it. All I am saying is that WE will not be implementing it ourselves. I 
think this is a reasonable position as trakt is directly competing with our own 
product. We like what they are doing, but we simply are in another camp. I hope 
you understand.
