iPhoto integration

[florian]

It would be nice if you could see the albums / events that you tagged in iPhoto.

Hi florian

iPhoto integration is something we would also like to have in boxee and i hope in the near future we will have a plugin in for it .

If any users would like to volunteer to build this plugin they can contact me at marcel[at]boxee[dot]com and i can point them in the right direction.

As a temporary work around just to view your photo's you can do the following:

Add a new source by going to Settings>Media Sources>Manually Add source.
Enter a name (such as iPhotos) and then the source path (/users/<username>/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals) and select the media type Pictures and then click "add".

Then when you select Pictures from the Main Menu you will see the iPhoto folder.

Already said it before but this and the iTunes integration is maybe the most desired option for the moment. I think it's a 10.5 thing iWeb, iPhoto, Mail, Toats, Comic Life, iDVD and iMovie can all handle it... Okay we're spoiled

[marcel]

I agree with you ..any volunteers to help with the plugins..

Another nice feature (when iPhoto integration is there) is to allow you to replicate the library structure. For example my iPhoto is arranged in a hierarchy of folders and then albums so I can click Holidays, 2008, "france album". I have done it this way so that anybody can find a photo easily.

FrontRow honours the library structure but appletv does not (it only displays events or albums).

I am about to kick my appletv out for this very reason.

we will try our best to implement iPhoto in the future so stay tuned...

I probably dont' have to tell you folks but the new built of XBMC has iTunes and iPhoto integration as of today. It's still a bit rough but it's a start. I have full confidence in our boys here to have a similar option soon

[marcel]

Thanks xain09.. we will be there soon...

I probably dont' have to tell you folks but the new built of XBMC has iTunes and iPhoto integration as of today.

FYI; it is a python plugin so you should be able to copy it and use in Boxee:

You will have to add it as a source manually to sources.xml
