Nuka's flickr

[PantsOnFire]

Hey gang,

Just downloaded all picture plugins from the trunk svn.

Picasa worked a treat.
iPhoto.. didn't work, aside from the apple product, is this a photo-sharing website? (like flickr)... maybe it needs login details then if thats the case.

Flickr, my main attraction, but Im having problem:
I've set the login name to be my flickr username, but it always says invalid userID no matter what. Same if I use my email address.

???

anyone know what's up?

I'm guessing iPhoto wouldn't work if you're not on a Mac?

[Nuka1195]

what platform are you running flickr on. i had that on osx. haven't investigated it. but it must have something to do with the authentication.

[PantsOnFire]

This is running on PC, (same result on xbox).

[Nuka1195]

xbox, may not have merged necessary xbmc code changes.

it definately works on windows.

pastebin a debug log

[PantsOnFire]

I couldn't work out how to pastebin into a post, so I include here the log, sorry bout that.

your xbmc is too old

[PantsOnFire]

really? :(

the version im using is from here:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xbmc/XBMC_for_Windows-8.10.exe?use_mirror=


I hoped that the official build from www.xbmc.org would be ok... ???

Are there newer builds somewhere else?

[spiff]

heard of search? ;P

search for community builds.

[PantsOnFire]

didn't know about them. :p

[PantsOnFire]

Using xbmc 8.10 18466, the plugin is working (great).

But the quality of the images is really quite low, this includes:

* the thumbnails
* the full-screen images


I know for certain the images are of high quality as they are mine, uploaded from digital camera.

I've set xbmc to thumbnail quality 512. But this made no difference.


Is there a way to increase the quality? As it stands, these images look nasty on a 40" screen.

can you share your username. only pro account users have the original pictures available. that's where flickr suck compared to picasa.

i no longer have a pro account to check mine.
