Hi! I tried to install the Picasa-Desktop XBMC plugin in Kodi, but it says, it is incompatible with Kodi. Is there any chance to get an updated version? Regards, Zoltan

Hi Zoltan, did you have the latest version from github?

Hi datom, Originally I tried from the zip from your homepage. Now I tried it from github, but I am not sure whether I am doing it right. First I copied the URL https://github.com/datom/xbmc-addons/archive/master.zip and defined it as a source in Kodi, it didn't work. Then I downloaded the zip file to the local filesystem and definied it in Kodi, didn't work either. Then I extracted the picasa directory from the zip, and packed it into a new zip file that I defined in Kodi again as a zip source. Then it complaints that the zip file doesn't have the right structure..... Is there a simple way to install the plugin in Kodi?

Hi datom,

many thanks for the .zip file, I was able to install it this time. I am now trying to set up the plugin. I have my pictures and the picasa db on my local disk. I am running Picasa 3.9 on Linux in PlayOnLinux. The location of the Picasa data directory is in ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Picasa/drive_c/users/myusername/Local_Settings/Application\ Data/Google/Picasa2/ . So I made a softlink to this directory from my home: ~/picasadb . Now I try to configure the plugin, by setting this link as "Database Location" as "alternative path" and the "Folder" as ~/picasadb . After setting this, nothing happens. I also tried to set ~/picasadb/db3 as the Folder, but still no success. What should be the right setting?

Hi Datom, could you help me please with the issue above. I don't know how to configure the picasa plugin. I tried several settings, but till now, none of them worked.

Hi zsarosi, sorry for my late answer but i have currently no time to check it. I'll look at it in the next few weeks.

Hi Datom, Sorry for bugging you, I am just curious, are there any news?

datom commented 8 years ago

hi zsarosi, did you check the kodi log for errors?

did you tried to set the complete folder path directly without symlink ?

zsarosi commented 8 years ago

Hi datom, thanks for the tip, I enabled debugging in kodi, and in the log I found the following stuff when I try to start the plugin: http://pastebin.com/a9YH9L8W I tried to use a folder without symlink, but I think according to the logs it dies earlier.
