This should enable hi-res photos. It doesn't seem to be available in the api. (the irritating and badly documented api) I had to hack the url to get it work. The photos, I believe, are now original size.

Pictures look much better now great work. It might just be need. I need to check the last version, but are thumbnails loading slower now?
Is there any way to apply the same hack to the map images? EDIT: Nope, they are loading at the same speed. I had just entered an album I have not viewed before.

Better than nothing I guess.
Nice work. Strangely I have noticed some images I can view the map, others I do not even get the option in the context menu. I checked online and the ones I can not get a map in the add-on do indeed have a location assigned to them. |

Is perhaps the difference that some of the images have location data in the phot exif data versus being set in Picasa? |

Maybe. Some were probably set in the Picasa app versus Picasa online. If I get time tonight I'll check them in more detail.

You need to go to the addon and configure it most likely. Go to pictures/addons, then highlight the addon and bring up the context menu and choose Add-on settings. Or go to settings/Add-ons/Enabled Add-ons/Picture Add-ons/Picasa/configure.

Turns out that even though 640x640 is the max size for the non-business google static maps, there is a scale option which doubles the resolution. So I was able to bring the maps to full 720p.
Get it v0.8.9 here: http://picasaphotos-xbmc.googlecode.com/...-0.8.9.zip |
