[RELEASE] iPhoto Plugin Addon for XBMC

It was my iPhoto library. I updated it with the newer computer and all is well. Sorry for the post! Thanks for the plugin!!!

Now I just have to find a newer iLife for my computer that I normally use with iPhoto lol

Thanks again!

Oh, good. I was just going to reply to you that your log looked like it wasn't actually importing

Out of curiosity, what version of iPhoto/iLife were you using when it failed?

-j

I'm running into the error "Script failed: addon.py"

Below is the (what I think is) relevant lines from the log file

I'm running XBMC on Ubuntu 11.04 with the iPhoto library networked from a Mac OS X 10.4 smb share. The share is mounted through Ubuntu, not XBMC.

Which I've done by

I've set up the share on the Mac using SharePoint.

I may not have privileges set right for the share when it's mounted but I can browse. I say this because when navigating the share using Nautilus the child-directories are read-only(only the first level down from parent the rest are rw below that)

I have v1.5.1 of the addon installed on the latest build of XBMC. I didn't enabe the SVN Repo when setting up.

Just to make sure; when setting the path for the AlbumData.xml file I only need to set the directory don't I? not select the actual file? (I can only see directories when navigating the 'set path' dialogue in the addon config.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me with this.

The eden-pre version of my plugin assumes you have Python 2.6, but it looks like you don't. Either that or whoever built your nightly built it with internal Python 2.4.

Installing Python 2.6 should solve the problem for you.

You won't need write access anyway, so you're fine.

That's correct.

Thanks for the quick reply. Python 2.6 is installed. Are there any other related packages I should check to see are installed?

I'd installed xbmc just by adding the maverick respository (couldn't find an 11.04 xbmc repo) and then installing by doing
Should I have installed using another method?

Thanks again for your help.

I´m running XMC Live 10.1 Dharma.
The iPhoto Database is on a Mac running 10.6.8.0 / iPhoto 2011 and is shared via SMB.

I´ve installe the plugin today / Version 1.4.5.
In the configuration of the plugin i switched to the SMB share wich I added before in Videos.
So far so good.

But now when I click in Pictures and open the Plugin 1.4.5 i see Folders like "Albums" "Faces" ect. and I see in the right up "Script failed: addon.py"

This is a XBMC Live 10.1 Dharma without any changes downloaded Image today from xmbc.org.
Are you sure that your script is running out of the box via XBMC Live?
It seems that it isn´t so.

Does anyone have a solution for me?

The "with...open" syntax is new as of Python 2.5, so I can only assume that you're using a version less than that.

What does /usr/bin/python point to? It should be a symlink to python2.6. You probably have multiple versions of Python installed.

If you do have Python 2.4 and don't need it for anything in particular, you can just try removing it. If you do need it, use update-alternatives to change the default version to Python 2.6.

Also, you are sure you are running a nightly build of XBMC, yes? If you're running 10.x you've got the wrong version of my plugin (it should be 1.4.5).

Well, I definitely cannot say it works for every user right out of the box, as there can be bugs that I have not yet found. But I can say it works for me

I will need to see your debug log to tell you anything further, though.

You chose the wrong directory in the plugin configuration. You need to choose the directory called "iPhoto Library".
