To access pictures stored inside third parties Web Album such as those from Picasa, Smugmug, FlickR, Facebook… Pix-Star needs one of the 2 following solutions to be available:

Solution 1: an interface (also called “API”) that gives access to the list of albums and the pictures that are inside, of course this is done after authentication. That is typically what you do with Pix-Star when you want to access pictures inside for example Picasa or FlickR;

Solution 2: a RSS feed, this is a more basic solution to display pictures stored online on your Pix-Star, but it makes the job too ! Some web album that do not provide an interface (the “API”) do usually provide a RSS link that is used to share your pictures with your friend. Pix-Star can “read” these RSS and display the pictures that are inside directly on its screen.

In the case of Kodak Gallery and Snapfish, unfortunately these 2 providers do not provide an open solution for a third party like Pix-Star to access their content. This is then totally impossible for Pix-Star to display the photos that you stored there.

This may change in the future and we will continuously monitor the situation. As soon as something is made available we will be the first to make it work with Pix-Star !
