Get images from Google Photos for display on a Raspberry Pi
Work in progress...
- Asks for read authorization against image files in Google Photos / Picasa
- Gets a list of the user's public albums.
- Asks user to select albums to include in slideshow and whether to use all images or only landscape images. Portrait images are rotated 90 degrees.
- Gets a list of photos from each album, requesting a link to a photo with width or height of 800px.
- Shuffles up the photos and cycles through the images one at a time. Cycle should be random, and fairly slow. Currently set to move to the next image every 180 seconds.
- Clicking the screen shows the album name and an icon to move on to the next aimage.
- User can rate photos. Current version is set up to use a MongoDB database to store ratings.
- Allow you to delete photos, either with another place to press, or by rating at zero.
- Allow you to create Picasa / Google Photos albums of your favourites. Possibly cross-reference image files with their equivalent entry in google photos and do it that way, or by adding them as new files if possible.
- Allow you to only show images with a minimum rating.
These extra functions depend on them still being possible through the API.
