Sorry mate, but I have some OAuth issues at the moment. Please try to use plain auth and I hope to get a new version sorted shortly.

how can I change that? There was no setup page...

If you'll right click on the script, you should be able to see the settings options in the context menu.

Let me know if you still can't find it

Found it - sorry, i had no mouse connected. Now I am trying to integrate it into Confluence. Don't like the option to post it automatically - status has to be manually updated. :-)

[ostfriesengott]

Thank you, everything works like a charme!

I'm not the original poster but this seems to fit in with my problem...

I can't find the settings screen! I've tried right clicking on the plugin name but only get "Remove from favourites", "Show debug info" and "Delete" in the menu. Not sure what's going on. I'm using version 1.4 on Linux (Karmic) with XBMC 9.11. The other thing which I'm thinking might be a complication is that I'm using the Transparency! skin. Any idea what could be wrong?

Great plugin otherwise though, thanks for all your efforts.

@sladflob: Try it with a mouse - press right button.

I think you might have placed the script in the plugins directory and that's what's causing the mess.
The script should be located under your scripts directory, you should then be able to operate it properly.

Nope, it's definitely under the scripts directory. I've tried placing it both in the top level "scripts" directory and also under "My Scripts" in case there was some kind of permission problem. Any other thoughts?

I keep getting the following error every time I try and run xbtweet. Any help would be nice.

Code:

I just released version 1.0 to the SVN REPO Installer, do you mind giving it a go? The REPO script will ensure everything is installed properly.

The error you're getting should affect the script in any way.
What is the error you're experiencing, do you get an error message on the screen?

I just released version 1.0 to the SVN REPO Installer, do you mind giving it a go? The REPO script will ensure everything is installed properly.

OK, this is very embarrassing... I'd installed xTweet not xbTweet! I really don't know how that happened. So apologies for the confusion.

Anyway, I have installed version 1.0 off the website BUT now I have authentication problems.

Firstly, the OAuth link on the main xbTweet website seems to be broken: "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."

So I tried setting plaintext autorisation. I set up my username/password in the preferences screen but when I start the plugin I get an error saying that although I've chosen plaintext authorisation it "cannot locate" my username and password. It then throws me back into the preferences screen, where my username and password are as I typed them. If I press ok, I get the same error message again and get thrown back into the preferences screen. And this continues forever until I manage to escape by some semi-random keypressing. I looked in the xbtweet directory in the xbmc script_data directory and the settings.xml file is there, and in it are my username and password as typed. To be sure, deleted the plugin and the settings.xml directory and tried again, this time setting the plaintext auth mode before running the plugin, but I get the same results.

I'm guessing the best solution will be to wait for the OAuth page to start working again?

BUG! Fixed now, you have a new version available on both SVN and the project page.

It should be working now, give it a go. I forgot to replace the key/secret combo for Twitter.
