Social Accounts - Atelier-Shiori/malupdaterosx-cocoa GitHub Wiki

MAL Updater OS X can post updates to Twitter automatically when you scrobble a title and share what you are watching on Discord. By setting an account in Social Accounts preferences, you can enable this.

Twitter

  • Authenticate - This button will open a web browser where you can authorize your Twitter account to be used with MAL Updater OS X. After authorizing an app, Twitter will give you a PIN. You copy this and paste it in the PIN field in the dialog to finish the authentication.

  • Logout - Logs you out of Twitter. However, this does not remove MAL Updater OS X from the list of applications. You need to revoke access on Twitter to do this.

  • Tweet on Scrobble - A tweet containing what show and episode you watch will be done on update. You can customize this further by deciding when MAL Updater OS X should post a tweet such as adding a new title or updating an existing title. You can also choose to post a tweet when you update the status of the title you last scrobbled.

If there is no update needed to the list, a Tweet will not be sent out.

Tweet message formatting

By default, there are tweet formats predefined. To customize your own tweets to be sent, you can use the text fields under each check box option. There are special tokens that will be replaced by the actual fields. They are the following:

  • %title% - The title of the last scrobbled show.
  • %status% - The watch status of the last scrobbled show.
  • %episode% - The episode you just watched.
  • %malurl% - The anime title's page on MyAnimeList
  • %score% - Your current score for the title

Discord

MAL Updater OS X 2.4 now have Discord sharing support. You can share what you are watching using Discord's Rich Presence. When you scrobble, even if an update is not necessary, it will update the status on Discord. Note that we cannot show poster images in Discord due to limitations with the Rich Presence API. You need to have Discord running to use this functionality.

  • Enable Discord Rich Presence - Enables sharing of what title you scrobbled on Discord.
