Yeah, I'm not done working on that one. It only lets you view forums, threads and posts. Pagination requires some more regular expressions (along with posting, viewing private messages, logging in, etc...)
xbmchub was requested, so I started poking around at it and got some done. I figured what I had so far could get tested until I was ready to do more Smile

Version 0.5.9 for Eden - testing continued - ruuk - 2012-02-02 23:43

This should fix the remaining encoding errors, or I'm going to go crazy.

it's good Smile
a few notes:
not sure if the api has this as an option but viewing(and/or downloading) the "original" hi-res photo would be great

25 per page is way too low.. imo you should try to make this continuous..

slideshow always starting from the 1st picture on the page is a bit unexpected..and limiting it to 25 pix kinda sucks Smile

What you see is the what is available.
From Facebook:
The source image of the photo - currently this can have a maximum width or height of 720px, increasing to 960px on 1st March 2012

I may be able to change this. I'll look into it.

The slideshow is not something I had control over in the past. I might be able to do it with the newest version of the JSONRPC api but I might not. Right now, to do a slideshow I have to download ALL of the images to a folder and play that folder. What would be best is if I could just pass a bunch of URL's. Trust me, I want it to work the way you do and have tried in the past. I'll see if anything has changed and try again Smile

Pending submit to repo... - ruuk - 2012-02-03 23:05

It seems like the known bugs are fixed. I'll post this to the repo in a couple of days if no one else has anything to report.

If anyone has any bugs to report, let me know now! Smile

Don't know if you already had a icon.png for your plug-in but some one made new ones for all those scripts that didn't have one in repo

Already have one but thanks. All my plugins have icons. I'm not sure what's going on in that thread :confused2:

v0.6.1 - ruuk - 2012-02-08 03:43

When viewing photos/tags you can now use left/right to move between photos in the set. Tags display is reworked and is still a WIP (ie tags at the bottom of screen will hide the name)

There is now an addon settings option that allows you to set the number of photos to display in a set (previously you could only view 25 at a time.) Default is 100. I haven't done a lot of testing with different values.

PS: v0.6.0 was submitted to the repo and should be posted soon, though if you're reading this you might just want to get v0.6.1 from the link Smile

Version 0.6.1 created a bug that prevented backing out of the menu hierarchy.
Version 0.6.2 fixes it.

while full-screen browsing albums, if a tag has been detected in one photo - it appears present in all following after it (after pressing a key to reveal it)

another one - you select the first photo - you go to full screen, next next next...you reach photo X . You go back to the photo preview screen - still at the first photo.

how about pressing the "play" button for starting a slideshow from the full-screen viewing?

I hope are you pushing the caching mechanism soon..

have you thought about an option to show album likes/comments/descriptions like you can for single photos?

you should consider continuously preloading the images in the album and not only the visible on the screen - in large albums you can scroll very fast to the 50th image and wait a long time to see the previews, but if you are doing it on the fly, by the time you are on pic 20 - the entire album will be received. In other words - don't stop preloading after the visible images are drawn.

maybe even do the same thing for slideshows - instead of waiting for all images to load initially - just start showing them and load on the fly. just an idea..

profile albums are limited to 200 pix - knowing that, you can probably skip the slider and just load up to that number..I doubt someone will be needing only the first 5 images of every album they have..

btw loading albums takes forever ... 15-20 seconds at least
