Monoslideshow lets you stream pictures from your flickR account via rss. Too bad flickR only allows 20 pix to stream by default.
With 6 very little steps this thing can be hotwired. Really easy.
1. Find out what your Photoset ID is. Simply click on your photoset in FlickR. The longest number in the URL is the photoset ID.
2. Alto Maltes is the author of a yahoo.pipe that exactly hacks the 20pix max lock from FlickR. Go to his yahoo.pipe website :
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=ggi_H7jn2xGoWGzY6UjTQA
3. Insert your Photoset ID and the maximum number of pics you like to rss into your monoslideshow. (500 is max)
4. Hit the Link “Get as RSS” ..you should see your photoset in your browsers RSS view.
5. Copy the url from the address bar.
6. Insert this link into the monoslideshow.xml. (DON’T forget to add the parameters at the end “?=en-us&format=rss_200” <- please look into the manual im not sure if these are the exact parameters)
Questions ? I´d be happy to help.

Did anyone manage to get this to work with Monoslidehow - I'm currently on version 1.32.
An example link that works in Monoslideshow would be appreciated, thanks.
I haven't tried it yet, but thanks for the tip.
I tried Yahoo Pipes, entered the pipe url of an rss in mediarss format but it doesn't work.
I get the error message "Something went wrong, error loading "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=8d148d6512ddace9072a720f85bc5a93" securityError"
It would be great if this could work!!
sounds like a crossdomain issue. Are the images located on the same server or are they hosted elsewhere?
The images are on flickr.
Sorry. If I would have read the entire thread, I would have realized that. I tried too and could not get it to work either.
Neither could I, but this is really a dealbreaker... if I can only access the most recent 20 flickr photos at a time, it's kind of lame. Tim-mighty, did you actually get it to work when you made your original post?
some small progress, but still not ideal:
i think the reason the yahoo pipes feed isn't coming in is because yahoo pipes doesn't give crossdomain permission so that flash can read the feed it creates.
So I created a dead-simple php script in the same folder as the monoslideshow swf:
<?
header('Content-type: text/xml');
$rssurl = "http://yahoo.pipes.url.goes.here";
$contents=file_get_contents($rssurl); echo $contents;
?>
and then told monoslideshow to go get this local php file as the rss feed. essentially i took something remote, and regurgitated it locally. and it works now. so far so good.
But what you don't get is monoslideshow's flickr-specific functionality. With the result that rather than going to get the 'medium' or 'large' file, it seems to be grabbing the full-sized images from flickr. Which in my case are huge. This creates lag, slows down the slideshows and its effects, and isn't really acceptable.
But maybe if your full-sized flickr images aren't too big to start with, this would work for some of you.
And if anyone has any other ideas how I can either:
- pull more than 20 images directly in the native flickr rss feed (which would be ideal)
or:
- make yahoo pipes rss link to the medium- or large-sized images in flickr instead of the full-resolution images,
I would be grateful.
