Social networks login and register on Roku

It's not trivial, but has been done. Most of these services use OAuth 2.0. The architecture is too complex to get in to here, but most services would require you running a server of your own for the registration process. There's an example of Twitter in the Roku SDK, but it's a little outdated. PM me if you'd like more details.

Chris Hoffman open sourced his implementation using Google App Engine and OAuth.

His code uses OAuth 1.0, which was deprecated by Google over 3 years ago.

There's an OAuth2 implementation of Chris Hoffman's Picasa channel here: https://github.com/belltown/Roku-Picasa2. No other server was required to implement the registration process in this case, just Https requests to Google. There may be something in there that could be used when working with other Google APIs.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I will give it a try.
