MMM-XboxFriends - Showing your xbox online friends and their status

[iamktothek]

I saw that someone had attempted a module for this before, but looks like it no longer exists for use

I built a module that allows you to see all of your online friends, which game they’re playing and if they are in an xbox party chat

Repo found here: https://github.com/iamktothek/MMM-XboxFriends

Would love to hear any feedback or improvements you think could make this more useful

Fun module – I tried it out and it works!

I’m curious if you’re thinking about any customization. Like what if I only care about the status of 3-4 friends?

@iamktothek You don’t need node-fetch. The fetch API is built-in meanwhile :-)

Thanks for the node-fetch advice @kristjanesperanto , Ill look to refactor in the near future

@rmonkey What would that look like for you? Would you want to put the gamertags into the config to only select those particular profiles? I believe I could get that implemented

I think you have the right idea. Say I have a hundred people in my XBL friends list, but maybe only 5 that I’d want the status on. “Ah, iamktothek is playing Power Wash Simulator, lemme jump on and join him.”

Ideally, I could tell it to filter to those 5, and maybe even hide the module entirely if no one on the filter list is on.

This is in the “Would Be Nice If Robot Monkey Had Everything Personalized To Him” category – there’s nothing wrong with the already great module you shared.
