1. I don't know.
2. It's based on version 0.5.1(I think it's part of Dharma sources) whatever svn version this may be. The addon.xml in the xbmc-scripts google subversion repository trunk has version 0.1.1!
   

Oops, wrong link, the last version that alexsolex commited to was actually a branch (not trunk):

http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-scripts/so...e.mypicsdb

That version is 0.5.

The last commit by alexsolex was r180 in January 2011, see the top of:

I just wanted to know whether your version contains all the changes in the SVN repo up until that point, which includes being able to browse via geography. It would be a shame if it didn't include the features already finished because they were unreleased at the time.

Quote:[*] I made the plugin Eden compatible because I liked it and wanted to use it with Eden. And because I thought that there are some guys who want to use it, too, I published it in my "abandoned" repository.

You said "We could created patches". That's of course okay. It's the intention of open source software. But I've to tell you that I don't have a lot of spare time.
Maybe we can ask fmronan to include it to passion-xbmc google svn because alexsolex is also one of the owner of passion-xbmc and fmronan is already a committer?

Sounds like a good idea.

The plugin contains geomaps.py and within default.py the menu creation for geo tagged files.
But without any geo tagged picture I cannot guarrantee that it works.

OK, I downloaded your latest version (0.5.6) and there are lot of features that were implemented in SVN, but not in the last Dharma release from Passion. e.g. Geo tagging, handling videos, more browse options.

Could you perhaps look into rebasing from the SVN r180 version and adding your changes on top of that? I can help if need be.

I tried to run the 0.5.6 version from the Passion repo. Unfortunaltely this one also fails on my macmini OSX :-(

Somewhere the program stops at scanpath.py

Hopefully somebody can fix this issue

If you do an installation with the zip file, you lack addonscan.
install addonscan too
addon scan

No, I won't do it because as already told I don't get enough time and fixing the unicode errors was a time-consuming task. Each corrected error produced several successive errors
I don't know why alexsolex decided to branch plugin's code without taking care of addons.xml version number and the changelog. Perhaps it was just a mistake. Perhaps because it was just a branch and never meant to go productive?
But I took the latest available stable (and highest) version from official xbmc dharma plugin repository.
That was my working basis.

Thanks, fmronan, when installing this addon the MyPicsDB works a litte bit better

In the Alex version I was able to scan my NAS, but I can not acces the NAS from the this addon. I tried several rootpaths

\\ username : password @ localipnumber\photo\1901 Michel\

smb:\\ username : password @ localipnumber\photo\1901 Michel\

smb:// username : password @ localipnumber /photo/1901 Michel/

In the beginning the Alex addon has the same problem, but is solved. Or is it an Eden bug conserning SMB access ?
Or is this also an difference between the official repo en the 1.80 version on GoogleCode ?

which programs do you guys use for tagging?

In my case Windows Live Photo Gallery. It's quite good - but beware of the caveats mentioneds by me priviously in this thread.
