there has been some request for a way to recieve real-time notifications about file additions to animes which are on ones notification list.
i am willing to write the server part which would be needed for this, however someone would have to write and maintain a window$ client.
technical aspects:
- udp based anidb server listens on port xyz
- client connects and registers with username & pass
- anidb server will send an udp packet for each new notification
- anidb server will send an udp packet for each new message
requirements for the client:
- minimizes to systray
- does no use too much resources (i.e. i don't think it should be written in java)
- shows tooltip on new notifcation and displays state of notifcation by using different systray icons
suggestions:
- left click opens anidb in browser
- right click opens config dialog (user can enter username, pass, and misc options)
- optionally play sound on notify
- optionally disable tooltips and just use different systray icons to display the status
- misc goodies
please feel free to post your ideas about this one.
if you are interested in writing this programm (shouldn't be too much work) please reply to this post.
this is of course not limited to m$ window$. if you're willing to write a client for linux/mac/... feel free to join us
