Watched / Aquired remotely

[Description]
Option to set (or even get) a flag (checkbox).
I've tried looking for a "proper" workaround, i've found out that in the "V10-19-06" and "A10-19-06" the following things are:
A / V (Aquired / Viewed)
10 = ShowID (http://www.myepisodes.com/views.php?type=epsbyshow&showid=X (x = showid))
19 = Season
6 = Episode number

The "get" thing would return a 1 or a 0 if it is checked or not. (1 = checked)

[Target URL]
remote.php?uid=Username&pw=md5pass&action=[SET/GET]&type=[A/V]&id=10-19-6
or
remote.php?uid=Username&pw=md5pass&action=[SET/GET]&id=V10-19-6
or
remote.php?uid=Username&pw=md5pass&action=[SET/GET]&showid=10&season=19&episode=6

This would be a nice way to interface with MyEpisodes, it would be useful in some of my personal utilities.

Thanks for the great site!

I see what you want, but your suggestion it is a very bad way to do it.

Lets say you want to query the aquired/watched status of all episodes in just a normal season with 24 episodes.
Since you want to GET the property you would query the remote.php 24+24 times just for acquired and watched properties.

But it could be done in another way, maybe with some sort of XML or SOAP.

Well, XML or Soap are "overkill" in my case. Also, my use for this feature would just be single (or two) episodes. Nothing more, just basic stuff.

I want to integrate episode's I've physically watched with the results on MyEpisodes. Same goes for the acquired ones.

For multiple episodes, comma separated episode id's (or a range like 1-24) would be a different possibility.

Let me know what you think of that. Much simpler to create and integrate (imho)

as i mentioned in another thread

can we get a link in the RSS feed to transmit the aquired/watched info back to this site?

[Sypher]

Wow,

did these links already exist or what?
http://www.myepisodes.com/myshows.php?action=Update&showid=##SHOW##&season=##SEASON##&episode=##EPISODE&aquired=1
http://www.myepisodes.com/myshows.php?action=Update&showid=##SHOW##&season=##SEASON##&episode=##EPISODE&seen=1

the other question is.. do they work remotely, without logging in? e.g. is it possible to add uid & password for it to work?

[Mavoc]

aquired is seen=0 for some reason. i had just gotten thos links from the series watch page, i assume they would have to be modifidy to work remotely. somehow add a username and md5 password to the url
