Flickr online photos

[bmatkovich]

I just noticed that channel 91 is showing all my Flickr pictures, not just those in sets anymore.  Is there a way to mark individual pictures so they will not appear in ATT Flickr Online?

Try moving them to an unshared folder.

Flickr has sets and collections of sets.  They do not have unshared folders.  So that isn't going to work but thanks anyway.

Change your flicker PW that might work

[bmatkovich]

About the only thing changing my password would accomplish would be to keep ALL my Flickr pictures from appearing on AT&T Flick Online.  There doesn't seem to be a way to selectively mark individual pictures from appearing on the TV.  What I have done is to create an AT&T subaccount and opened a Flickr account with that.  Now I move the pics I don't want to appear on TV to the sbbaccount.  Not very convenient but it works.

On Flickr.com

- Using the original Flickr account, make PRIVATE the photos you do not want seen by the Public. Keep the photos you want seen as PUBLIC.

then 

- Create another Flickr ID.

- Add your current ID with all the photos as a Contact.

On TV app

- Link the new Flickr ID (you just created) to the TV app by clicking "Change User"

- Then on the TV navigate to Contacts and find the original ID you made as a contact. Its probably the only one there. Click on it and view photos. You should only see the ones that you marked as public.

** ALTERNATIVE solution - PIN protect the channel like any other channel.

appmaker, that is somewhat of a complicated solution but it may work.  I will give it a try.

Slight correction ---

* use the AT&T ID that is tied to the Set Top Box by default to view photos.

* And make your regular Flickr ID a Contact.

You just need your att.net ID to login and password and sign into Flickr.com with that id. Then make your regular Flickr ID a contact.

Then go back to the TV and view using the default ID. The PUBLIC/PRIVATE labeling still need to be done to your standard Flickr account.

You might want to do that anyway if you have photos that you don't want a causual browser of Flickr.com to see.

I don't know about you all, but I was suitably impressed with this update. If you haven't seen the new update of the Flickr app on U-Verse, I suggest you check it out. Finally, we have an app has been added to our service that's comparable to the usefulness and features of apps on other platforms.

Admittedly, the app still lacks features such as search and subscriptions to photo stream clusters, but it is a massive step forward over the previous version. I hope this is an indicator of more useful apps to come, such as maybe a Facebook app, a Netflix app (hint, hint, if you're listening, AT&T), a YouTube app, etc., and so on!

There is a Facebook app that is being beta tested in some markets.

[PeterAlt]

This Facebook app being tested is only for Media Room 2.0, correct? If so, this must mean that they're also testing Media Room 2.0, which - to me - is great news because MR2.0 is made to work with MS Windows 7 Media Center PCs for sharing DVR and media content (including video). I know Bell Canada already rolled out MR2.0 for their IPTV customers, wondering what's the hold-up with AT&T in getting it out...

No, I have the beta app here in Dallas, and I do not have Media Room 2.0 as far as I know.

Adding a Netflix app would be nice, but since it's a competitor I seriously doubt they would.  Since there are supposed to be caps on internet service it would sure push people towards their limits quickly if the app was available from the STB.
