[RELEASE] Picasa Desktop

LoL Wrote:Hey datom,

Thx for the update! Didn't see it untill now.... my bad :confused2:

I'm running it on:
- XBMC: OpenELEC version (11.0 Beta2 build jan 29 2012)
- Win 7
- Picasa 3.8.0

Problem is now that it says "only default location currently supported"

I would love for this to work because of the same reasons you've described:
click to create albums in picasa and watch it on my tv

Hope you can help me out!
Thx, LoL

hi lol,

the linux version works only if picasa is installed on the same machine as xbmc.
i will try to add the network support in the next weeks

That would be great, thx!

Hi,

I am using Windows 7, Picasa 3.9, and XBMC Eden (although I have the same issue with Darma)

Whenever I get the path information setup correctly and attempt to use the plugin I get a script error as some of the previous posters have. I have tried configuring the Picasa software in different ways (default locations, local path...) with no luck. Here is my latest log segement.

If anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it:

Thanks.

hi,

it looks like that google changes the database location in picasa 3.9
a workaround for that is not possible
