Wow, I had no idea that they will be deprecating basic authentication! I will get some kind of solution to this when I have time – and I have several other things that tweet that I’ll need to change. So answer to 1 is no!

2) Not sure to be honest – I’ve never looked at getting events out of MythTV. However, it would be trivial to knock up a script that is called when you press a button on your remote (via irexec), which queries the currently watched program (same way as this script works) and tweets it.

3) Dale Lane has done this – can’t say I’ve tried it, but worth looking at – http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=1284

Thanks,

1) Will this stop working when twitter switches over to OAuth?

2) Is there a way to only send tweets when I select an OSD option?
ie. I am watching a show and press some on screen or menu option that says “tweet this show”

3) Have you found (or made) a plugin to go the other way, and have a twitter ticker on the bottom of the screen?
