You can find setup instructions and more information on the project homepage (now with a new, easier installation method):
http://www.maraschinoproject.com/

It currently has the following features:

* Customisable 'applications' widget providing quick access to web interfaces (e.g. SABnzb+, SickBeard, or whatever you want to link to)

* 'Recently added episodes' widget with thumbnails - also, you can just click the episode and it will play in XBMC

* SABnzbd+ widget which appears when something is downloading and hides again when finished. Currently just gives you basic info (currently downloading, speed, time/MB remaining).

* Media library browser - browse your movies and TV shows, and click to play in XBMC

* 'Currently playing' bar which appears when something is playing and hides again when it is finished, a lot like AWX's

* trakt.tv widget which shows you what people are saying about the episode or movie that you're watching, and allows you to post your own comments for others to see (requires a free trakt.tv account)

* Full-screen background image changes to the fanart of what you're currently watching (optional, can be turned off)

* Customisable from within the application itself - add new modules, rearrange them and modify their settings without touching any settings files!

Here's a screenshot (click for larger image):



Here's another with automatically-switching fanart backgrounds enabled:



Please note that it requires an unstable/nightly/Eden-pre release of XBMC due to the hefty API changes that will be introduced.

This is a work-in-progress - things are still being changed, and new features and modules are being added quite frequently.

IMPORTANT: I've pushed some pretty big changes which allow settings to be configured from within the app itself. Users from before 07/11/2011 will need to follow the instructions that I posted here to upgrade.

Quote:You need to specify DATABASE in settings.py, and ensure that Flask-SQLAlchemy is installed.

Quote:DATABASE = '/HTPC-Apps/maraschino/maraschino.db'

CHERRYPY_PORT = 7000

AUTH = {
'username': '####',
'password': '####'
}

PORT = 32000

I have also added the ability to add a new show to sb from maraschino! You can now use sb's thetvdb search function and select which show you'd like to add, all from the sb module. At the moments it uses sb's default settings but I may add options to customise further. Please test and give me feedback! Will go to bed now.
