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 !

With Pix-Star you can configure the way Photomails are managed when arriving inside the frame.

By default, your Pix-Star is in a mode which displays a small logo on top of the screen, the “envelope” logo, each time a pictures snet by email arrives on the frame. When you press the open mailbox button on the remote control, Pix-Star will show you one by one the Photomails received, with the sender, the date & time and the subject shown at the bottom. You can then choose to either keep the picture or delete it right away.

By going to the “settings” menu you can choose inside the “system” sub-menu between 2 other modes.

The second mode is called “Automatically & notify” which means that in this mode Pix-Star will automatically add the incoming Photomails to your default slide show without the need for you to open the mailbox. This is done WITH a sound notification (a sound is played when a picture arrives).

The third  mode is called “Automatically” which means that in this mode Pix-Star will automatically add the incoming Photomails to your default slide show without the need for you to open the mailbox. This is done WITHOUT any notification (no sound, no message on the frame).

These last 2 modes are quite convenient for people that want to keep things simple. Nothing to do, no need to touch anything on the frame!

This is particularly adapted for people that are not computer-savvy.
