hello,

I am trying to make a flickr screen saver. I am using the flickr example and essentially just calling it from RunScreenSaver. It's working, sorta… It gets to the part where you have to go to your computer to link to your flickr account using the auth_num:

screen.AddParagraph("To use this Flickr feature and view your photos, you need to link your Roku player to your Flickr account.")
screen.AddParagraph("Go to www.flickr.com/auth-" + flickr.auth_num + " and retrieve the 9 digit code")

but I don't know what auth_num to use. I've looked all over flickr but can't find it. I have an app created and find all sorts of links to do it with OAuth but nothing to do it this way. Anyone have any thoughts?

thanks

Ok, just figured it out. To do this you need an authentication URL. To get that you have to set the app type of your flickr key to 'mobile application'. Then is says something like 'Your authentication URL is http://www.flickr.com/auth-XXXXXXXXXXXX' where the X's are your auth_num.
