*for all platforms other than xbox. a web browser will open for you to authorize. for xbox you need to grab q:\xbmc.log, look for "XBMC Flicker authorization url:", then copy that url into a web browser, authenticate, then return to the xbox and authorize. You may also copy your settings.xml from your profile from another platform. the auth token is saved in this file and they are compatable between flickr users.

the authorize setting in plugin settings. when you use it. after the web browser comes up. xbmc dialogs will be blank. it's an issue with xbmc. it's being worked on. "Yes" means you authorized the app. no means you did not.

This change slows down the listing considerably.

Hello, I'm a new xbmc user on windows. I can't get the flickr plugin to work, it says 'user id invalid'. I changed the settings.xml file, but apparantly i did it wrong. Can you please specify what is the username (does it include the @yahoo.com part ?) and where to put it exactly ? Thanks for this good initiative !

username can be your email or username, the error isn't very descriptive, but your xbmc is probably too old.

but i can't tell without a debug log.

Thanks for the quick reply:
- I installed XBMC on windows XP, i took the version from this website (xmbc.org) two days ago (r 8.10 ?).
- I took the flickr plugin last night from the google codes page, http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/

-> How, or in which file on which place do I set the username ?
-> If a log is still required after this update, how do I get a debug log ? Is it automatically stored somewhere ?
