Hi guy and gals,
at the moment I'm planning my second MediaPortal plugin after havin' been pretty lazy around here (@boss: busy at work though ;-) for quite a while now...
But there is one thing that always helps to recuperate my batteries a little - and that is lolcats!
So I decided to build a little plugin that retrieves pictures from all the categories of the cheezburger network and shows them directly in MediaPortal.
As of now the planned functionality will be:
v1.0
- Retrieve pictures from all categories in the same order as on the website(s)
- Retrieve random picture slideshows (selectable categories) for endless streams of happiness
- option to save pictures to disk
v2.0
- login to the cheezburger sites via user credentials
- retrieve user pictures / favorites
- make use of the Favorite features of the cheezburger API
(v3.0 let's see)
- create lolz directly within MediaPortal and upload them to the sites using lolbuilder
If you like the idea i'd be more than pleased to hear your thoughts, suggestions and any sort of input except "we don't need this" - because I do ;-)
regards,
Anthrax
PS: The only problem I ran into this far is the resolution of the pictures which is quite small so fullscreen is out of reach :-( But I'm thinking of picture walls right now...
