Test using a Picasa “featured” feed as input for the slideshow. Picasa images are retreived in 2 sizes (if available). 800 px in normal mode and 1600 px in full-screen operation.

Test using a Flickr using a personal photoset rss feed as input for the slideshow:

It hangs on “loading from flickr”
Hi, great plugin, the best for photos I ever seen
I have a problem with flickr: I added the url from my album and the one from your example (here above), but mine stops a the first photo, and I don’t know why.
This is what I wrote:
[showtime flickr=http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photoset.gne?set=72157623548077282&nsid=47972091@N04]
[showtime flickr=http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photoset.gne?set=72157622602489724&nsid=27531560@N02]
Could you help me?
Thanks for your earlier replies Paul.
I’m experimenting now to get my slideshow loaded from one of my Picasa albums.
At the moment I’m getting a black box with the message that “XML cannot be loaded”. Any suggestions on what my problem is? I have used the following code on my page:
[st picasa=http://picasaweb.google.com/studiodimare/ModelingGlamour?authkey=Gv1sRgCPqp-sSapLWjsAE&feat=directlink]
you need to setup a public album in your picasa account, then look fo the rss feed link.
It should be something like
http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/YOUR_USER_ID/albumid/YOUR_ALBUM_IDhello,
I trying to get my slidshow working. i have entered in the rss feed from a flickr photo set, when i publish and go to site there is one photo up, it loads but does not change to the next photo
can anyone help? thank you
I have set up a flickr photo set and it’s loaded and everything seems to be fine, however the images are at very low resolution. I set as the “best” res on the setting but not applied. Moreover I ticked on “reverse” setting however this also does not apply.
I use 2.9.2 wp. Could you please update on this? thank you.
Used the demo urls above for picasa and flickr to test.
flickr works but picasa only shows a black box.
This is a fresh install
i found the problem
your using file_get_contents to get the rss. This is not a secure way of getting remote files and is deactived on most hostings i’ve known. Use curl instead.
So replace
$xmlstr = file_get_contents ($rss);
With
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rss);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$xmlstr = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
hello Seb. Thank you for the info. I’ll look into this for the next update to the plugin.
Hi, i just try your plugin and it’s really fun to use. But i try with my flickr account and the showtime does not work
It’s weird because when i paste your exemple it ok but when i enter my flickr rss feed it’s all black.
And when i don’t paste but write myself the parameter the slideshow says that there’s no image.
Do you have an idea about this ? It’s not a big deal but it will be great if we can fixe this !
Thx a lot for your plugin and your help.
Hi Paul,
thank you for amaizing plugin !
could you please answer – is it possible to setup showtime to work with another photohosting like http://www.fotki.com or just picasa and flickr ?
Thx a lot !
@Fki: I’m having the exact same problem, works great with example code but i put in my flickr info and I get a black box. Help please!

Did you solved this problem ?
I have the same trouble …
I used Picassa and it worked (couldn’t get Flickr working). However I don’t have the clickthrough options that it shows in the other demo, it only scrolls through the choices.
Also the graphics quality is terrible especially on full screen mode. I’m going to look for another plugin option -
Please any tips !
Showtime working with Flikr and not working with Picasa .
But ! the same code working without problem on local host ( Flikr and Picasa both !)
I understand my problem : avast internet sequirity blocking javascripts .
On the non-working flickr feeds, I find that when the slideshow tries to hook up to “farm5.static.flickr.com” it fails. Any other server seems to work. So maybe farm5 is too slow or throws an error?
flickr farm5 don’t work – please update plugin!!!!!
Trying to get this to work in my theme:
All I get is the #000000 background.
When I use this – a different flickr feed:
It works fine.
Thoughts?
