[RELEASE] flickr Media - flickr media image plugin addon

Version 0.9.100

Changes:
- Added some stuff to work better with my new addon Plugin Slideshow Screensaver (also on my repo below)

On my REPO.

The Plugin Slideshow Screensaver mentioned above allows you to choose a path from an image plugin's hierarchy to use in a slideshow screensaver. You also have the option to start a slideshow when XBMC starts (energizer80 - this is for you )

So for instance, when setting the path in the screensaver's settings, you can browse the flickr plugin, browse into the photostream and select ok. The screensaver will show images from your photostream. You could do the same with a set, etc.

It's been tested with flickr, picasa and 500px.
It won't work with paths that require input (ie Search flickr)

TIP: When changing the path in the screensaver's settings, you need to click the button which says reset path, because XBMC will only show the last selected plugin otherwise.

When I get some testing feedback (this means you, energizer80), I'll start a new thread for the addon.

Just FYI:
The Plugin Slideshow Screensaver does not appear to work on Eden, so Frodo only.
I notice that the xbmc slideshow addon isn't available on eden, so I don't think the slideshow addon stuff works in eden (perhaps just for python)

On the addon config "user name" field I tried my flickr screen name, my Flickr account (Flickr interprets from the Google log in a 32 digit alphanumeric ID...) and my Google account email all with the same results.
Please let me know if you need more feedback from my side

The actual log would be helpful, so I can figure out where in the code the error is happening.
Also, maybe you could PM me a link to your photostream.

Could you point me on how should I get the add on log on windows ? I will PM you both asap

I'm at work on my phone at the moment. Search "xbmc log" on google. When I'm home I'll post the link if you don't already have it.

Version 0.9.103

Did a couple of updates while testing stuff on my ATV2 so there were three versions added to the repo since the last version post.

Changes:
** 0.9.103 ***
Fix images
** 0.9.102 ***
Added 'Groups' icon, set Contacts '[Recent Photos]' icon to 'Photostream' icon
Made 'Re-authorize' settings option only enabled when 'Access As User' is set
Fixed issue when authorizing via the 'Re-authorize' button
** 0.9.101 ***
Added 'Groups' which will list your groups. Selecting a group will show the group's photo pool
Under 'Contacts' added '[Recent Photos]' which will show up to 50 photos (5 for each contact) from your contacts' photostreams.
Added 'Re-authorize' option in settings to fix a broken auth (ie Bad Auth Token errors)

On my REPO.

Plugin Slideshow Screensaver

I need to make a new thread for this addon, but for the moment, here's an update:

Added the ability to use ShareSocial image feeds (Only works with Facebook-Media 0.7.8 at this time and requires ShareSocial 0.2.0 or greater to be installed)
Improved slideshow image loading (now loads next image while displaying current image, so less instance of black screen)
Improved the settings dialog
Added loading indicator and message while waiting for images to load
Added error indicator and message if error occurs while loading images

On my REPO

Be sure to upgrade Facebook-Media and ShareSocial if you want to have a Facebook slideshow, as the addon does not require them, so they won't be updated automatically.
