Flickr plugin

Question 
Around mid-2005 there was a script made by a guy named Jon to view flickr photos, profiles etc.


It's been 4 years ( ! ) since I last tried that script, sadly it no longer works.

Does anyone have an equivalent/newer/alternative script for viewing flickr?


-Thanks

yes, i have one.

the issue i have is how to authorize it. it requires a web browser, which doesn't exist on xbox. soon as i work this out and clean up some things i'll release it.

That's great to hear. I look forward to using it.

You might want to contact 'Jon Maddox' ?

He was the guy who created a script in 2005 for Flickr access, maybe he can help..

Nuka.

I've some code in my new script (unreleased but in svn trunk) reeplay.it that does HTTP Basic Authorisation and Cookies - maybe that might help ?

I had both Flickr and Picasweb on a TODO list - you beat me to it - good effort.

I've started one recently, it's in a very early phase it only does Explore for now, see here: http://code.google.com/p/dandar3-xbmc-ad...loads/list

It's a plugin so you will need to extract it in XBMC\plugins\pictures folder.

I don't want to put you off, but I think Nuka's Flickr (and Picasaweb) has nailed it already.

Thanks for the tip,

i've downloaded the latest t3ch build (and others just to test) but the SVN repo installer plugin seems broken. - nothing loads at all.
