background threads

[thecubical 2]

I'm looking to help update the currently broken trakt plugin.

 

They've switched to OAuth authentication and now you need to call them to generate a device id, show that device id to the user and then wait for the user to go to their site and authorise the device.

 

I'm looking at replacing the code to use TraktApiSharp (https://henrikfroehling.github.io/TraktApiSharp/guide/) for all of this.

 

So bascially call 

 

TraktDevice device = await client.DeviceAuth.GenerateDeviceAsync();

 

Show the user the device.usercode and ask them to go to device.VerificationUrl

 

and then possibly in a background thread or something like that poll for the authorisation being completed like so

 

TraktAuthorization authorization = await client.DeviceAuth.PollForAuthorizationAsync();

 

Whats the best way to implement this polling, can I just spawn a new thread/task directly in the plugin or do I need to do something with a manually triggered scheduled task?

Actually see the pull request that was submitted. Maybe you can help test that out and verify it. I will be testing it shortly. Thanks.
