Tweeting
« on: May 08, 2010, 09:06:20 am »
Media Center Is Asking Me For Some Information, I Think A Pin Number Or A URL Or Both.

What Should I Put In There To Tweet My Playing Now?

It's been awhile since I had to fill that out but it's definitely your Twitter account name and probably your password with approval for MC to tweet.

On another note of tweeting rather than starting a new topic, if the tweet is longer than 140 characters you get a generic message "There was a problem Tweeting the playing track."  Not sure if my MC to Twitter wasn't set up correctly or what the problem. Finally determined it was because of the character length. Please let me know that or use a service like Twitlonger that will allow the longer tweet.

I think you have to tweet from Twitter first (outside MC).

You have to give permission to MC to tweet for you. I don't remember the exact details, but first set up your twitter account and test it (outside of MC). Then use MC to tweet to it. It will pop up a web browser with some instructions from Twitter about generating a pin and copying it to MC. Hope this helps, my memory is vague on it...

I will say this... It was a little confusing the first time I did it.  I think this was: that it popped up the browser window in an existing browser session I had running (a new tab in Firefox), but didn't restore the window, which I had minimized, so it just looked like MC wasn't doing anything.  However, I don't remember it very clearly.

Once I figured it out and authorized MC via Twitter this one time, it worked fine.

Glynor is jriver suppose to tweet automatically when songs change? or do we have to manually tweet on every track change?

If i right click choose tweet it changes on my facebook profile. but doesnt on every track change. I'm sure i won't use it much but just curious.

It is manual.  Spamming twitter with hundreds of Now Playing songs in a single evening would make me unfollow you pretty quickly.
