[RELEASE] The Big Picture (Pictures) Plugin

I love this plugin and it works great in PM skin. But I have started using Rapier and it just instantly crashes XBMC when run.

Could you tell what requirements this needs of a skin so that it works. I will then mod Rapier to make it compliant.

I did manage to get it to not crash my removing id="1" in the main.xml but although it did not crash completely it never got past the spinning loading dialog and I had to force quit XBMC.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have time to look into this, sorry.
You can try renaming main.xml to something like The_Big_Picture-main.xml and change references to that file in the .py files.

Otherwise create a ticket on http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com and cc me. I'll look into it after the new year.

I know that you probably don't have time for it at the moment... But I thought I'd make you aware of another photo-blog similar to Big Picture. (and Big Shots)

+1 Please add it to Addon-Manager
Its one of my most-used xbmc-plugins

+1 I Like this plugin also


please can someone fix it for Dharma?

Bump!

Hi,

I asked rwparris2 and he gave me the permission to port his plugin to be Dharma-comptabile (thx!).

I finished the port and requested a svn pull in the official addons repo.

If they don't find any problems/bugs in my port it will be available in the near future through the addon manager.

I also plan to update this plugin to support other websites.

When it is in the main repo I will start a new release-thread and there you can make feature suggestions like websites you whish to be integrated.
