Hi there,

Thanks a lot for this excellent sync tool!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a daemon that automatically syncs the photos of a specific folder in the background?

Let me know what you think!

Thanks

Right now it doesn't seem the tool propagates deletions. Are you planning to do so?

Does FSS delete from Flickr where the file is not available locally?
Also, if I change a file but the name is the same, will it update on Flickr?

Hi,

First off: thanks for this awesome script. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

I changed my Yahoo password due to the whole Heartbleed thing, and now whenever I attempt to use Flickrsmartsync it fails when it attempts to upload files, with the error message:

Error: 3: General upload failure

I'm attaching a screenshot, too.

I've tried the following:

• Uninstalling and reinstalling flickrsmartsync
• Destroying the flickr auth token and re-authenticating with Flickr

Please let me know what additional info I can provide...

Thanks!

I have a set called "2013-01" upon first run flickrsmartsync created another one called "2013-01" and started uploading all to it again. Have I missed something?

All my albums uploaded with version up to 0.18 have

album name = folder name (e.g. 2015-06)
album comment = folder path (e.g. 2015/2015-06)

With 0.2.01 album name and album comment both are only folder name. With this name scheme folder to album matching no longer works and flickrsmartsync wants to upload my whole photos again :(

(This is on linux of course.)

Hi, I'm not a real computer literate, so I get really lost here.
I just want this uploader to work in windows and to make sure everything is synced between flickr and my "pictures" folder, including subfolders.
I don't have any idea how to accomplish this.
Can you help?

Hi there,

I cannot longer run flickrsmartsync. I seem to miss a dependency here:

Any idea which package I need to install to provide IPTCInfo?

Thanks ahead!

It would be nice if the software supported RW2 files from panasonic cameras.

I use this great tool to backup images automatically.
This is done on a Raspberry Pi in two steps (first copy from SD-Card to local USB-Drive, then upload to flickr). The second step fails for larger files (e.g. movies) because main memory is very limited on a pi. Each movie upload is retried a few times:

I've been looking for a python project that will let me do a 2 way sync with Flickr for a while. I started writing my own, but then found your project. Is this something you're actively working on? If not, would you mind if I did some refactoring so I can add it?

See exact command syntax below, perhaps it's the MP4 extension or it's the combination with "--sync-from all"?

flickrsmartsync --sync-path /mnt/photos/ --starts-with 2015 --sync-from all --ignore-videos
..
WARNING:flickrsmartsync:Retrying upload of 2015/2015-04/DJI00080.MP4 after error:

awesome script, really like it.
unfortunately it takes a long time to check all existing folders before actually syncing a fresh one. can i, e.g. with --starts-with tell it to only sync 2015/11/06 ?

Thanks ;)

When i using command:
/usr/local/bin/flickrsmartsync --sync-path /nfs/flickr/flickr/ --download .

It download all content from flickr except videos (*.MOV) files.

Is there something wrong with my command? I only want to download ALL (sync daily) videos and photos from flickr to my NAS.

Upon any sync I try.

Not realy an error but in remote.py you say :
line 111:

# add missing extension if not present (take a guess as api original_format argument not working)

You have the correct extension in the path of the media, in the "url_o" attribute :

ext = photo['url_o'].split('.').pop().lower()

My scenario is attempting to use flickrsmartsync to export all photos from my spouse's flickr account.

Hi,

I'm triyng to use this script on a readynas and I have this error when I try to upload.
What I have to do?

Thank you

it would be nice, if this script would be able to split too big files on uploading

UTF Encoding is neither working for file names nor for folder names. Every file/folder containing a special character is duplicated everytime I run the script.

Using Windows XP, character "ü" is stored in Flickr as "\xfc" (which seems to be correct), but local files/folders show a "superscript 3", so comparison of remote and local names fails

Hey Faisal,

I've been using this script for a while now, thanks for building it, it's been a great help backing up my extensive photo collection!

This morning I found that it doesn't work anymore, though. I get the same result from my Windows PC and my Linux server. I don't know much about scripting so I can't tell what's up, but I'm afraid Flickr has changed it's API...

Below this message I've posted the traceback I receive after I try to run the script. I hope it's a simple issue that you can resolve, it's great to have an automated way to back my photos up :)

Kind regards, Thomas.

I'm currently wanted to debug "custom-set" and "custom-set-builder" with --custom-set-debug.
The option had no effect at all, or am I missing something?

Depending on the flickr uploader it is common for all images in a set to have the same title. It seems that flickrsmartsync --download doesn't account for this as I'm missing numerous images.

Note: no error is logged.

My scenario is attempting to use flickrsmartsync to export all photos from my spouse's flickr account.

When I use pip install flickrsmartsync the version is 0.1.15

At the moment Album descriptions are used as folder names - this leads to long paths and probably to errors handling those...

Is there a way to ignore file extension on sync check?

I'm getting irregular errors like this while doing a large download:

WARNING:flickrsmartsync:Retrying download of /home/francis/keep/photos/2012-giants-in-liverpool/IMG_1263.MOV after error: [SSL: DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC] decryption failed or bad record mac (_ssl.c:1752)

Rather than retrying, or giving up, I end up with corrupted half-downloaded files. This is annoying, as they do not get download on my next (incremental) download run, so end up corrupted indefinitely.

Hi there, since an upgrade to the latest .12 build I have a problem with uploads. When I run flickrsmartsync on a folder it lists all files as uploading but quickly spins through them without uploading anything. Is there anything I can provide to help identify the issue? This is on Ubuntu 13.10 and also Debian 6. Same outcome. Thanks for this excellent tool.

Hi,

I'm not a Python wizard and I don't really know the Flickr API you used.
I forked your code and added a couple features (see here : https://github.com/kenijo/flickrsmartsync/commit/0d648c364f8c1922b925c26a1d91271bf32e7102)

However I'm struggling with two issues:

• First, if I upload a photo with a file name containing a accented character (é or è for exemple) then the next time the script is executed, it fails to retrieve it from flickr and I can't figure out why.

Here is the error message I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main

start_sync(args.sync_path.rstrip(os.sep) + os.sep, args)
File "/usr/local/scripts/flickrsmartsync/flickrsmartsync/init.py", line 113, in start_sync
title = get_custom_set_title(sync_path + desc)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 22: ordinal not in range(128)

There is an issue retrieving the file names I guess.
Maybe we can work on that?
Thanks

• Second, if I upload and create sets manually; I can't download them using your script.
  Not really a big deal in my use case but it would be nice if it worked (or maybe I dind't understand how it works)

Hi there,

Am I correct that there is no way to cancel the sync process?

I tried CTRL C as well as D but they do not successfully abort the process.

Hi,
during download the consolle stop to log messages about the downlaoding photo and stack on the last downloaded.. if i open the folder and search for these photo i can see that the photo is partially downloaded and the script is in freez mode.. after if i restart the script, when it check for downloaded photo, it find the filename of the partial photo in the folder and check the photo as downloaded and skip the file (but the photo is partial !! and must be redownloaded)

There is a fix for this problem?

Tnx

In my case, my workaround will likely to use set title instead of description.

I get the following logs for both new and existing folders:
INFO:flickrsmartsync:Getting photosets page 1
INFO:flickrsmartsync:Getting photosets page 2
INFO:flickrsmartsync:Found 0 photo sets
INFO:flickrsmartsync:Upload done

Are you considering allowing (general) privacy conditions to be set?

Would it be more sensible to have the reference item of the file name as a tag rather than title? This would allow users to set a title without losing sync?

I get the following error while trying to my fairly large library.Unfortunately this means I have to have a script that runs flickrsmartsync until it does not error, but there is a lot of traffic checking photos that have already been uploaded so it would be good to either have some kind of argument such as --continue or maybe keep track of progress or just a few attempts at the request before failing.

I needed to download original videos from flickr, but saw that the download video part was commented out. So I looked into seeing if I could enable it and have been successful in doing so.

It's essentially what was already there, just a couple of tweaks for the filtering of json:

Uncommented it all, changed "startswith('Site')" to "startswith('Video Original')" and removed ".replace('/site/', '/orig/')", and commented out the "continue"

if is_download and photo.get('media') == 'video':
    photo_args = args.copy()
    photo_args['photo_id'] = photo['id']
    sizes = json.loads(api.photos_getSizes(**photo_args))
    if sizes['stat'] != 'ok':
        continue

    original = filter(lambda s: s['label'].startswith('Video Original') and s['media'] == 'video', sizes['sizes']['size'])
    if original:
        photos[photo['title']] = original.pop()['source']
        #     print photos
        # Skipts download video for now since it doesn't work
        #continue

It downloaded all the videos in their original format for me, and MD5 checksums matched.

I can do a pull request if you want, or unless you want to do some testing yourself?

Hi,

I've been trying all kinds of things to authorize, and now I've given up! :(
Both using a text-based browser (w3m) and no browser (w3m uninstalled), I get the following messages:

root@server:/some/image/path# flickrsmartsync
# When no browser installed, validation URL is displayed here
Please authorized this app then hit enter:
ERROR:flickrsmartsync:Please authorized to use

The application shows up under my "Applications you use", and pasting the link generated with no browser installed, into another browser, correctly prompts for validation.
But it just fails after I hit enter..

Am I doing something wrong??

System: Debian 7.6, headless

When running the script under Windows, the set titles include the full sync path, e. g.
D:\foto\20150101 New Year Day

When I change in remote.py
title = path.split('/').pop()
to
title = path.split(os.sep).pop()
everything works fine.

Hi!
Recently I have a problem to sync 1 folder. Your script find the album but everytime it say me that is empty:
INFO:flickrsmartsync:Getting photos in set [2014-05 CUNADI]

It happens only with that album (that contains 204 picture...).
I didn't edit the description or other stuff.
Any idea?

In case there is broken symlink (a link without a target) the script just stops with this error:

Is it possible to just surround it with a try catch?

New version is uploading duplicates. I have two identical images with identical filenames. What can I get to help?

Hello,

I just got your python program working on win7 using python27. My directory layout looks something like this:

G:\My Pictures\2001
G:\My Pictures\2001\January
G:\My Pictures\2001\January\photo1.jpg
...

The uploaded set on flickr contains the "G:" in the album name. My concern is if I move the "My Pictures" folder to another drive letter, it won't recognize that they have already been uploaded. Can you update the code to strip the drive letter?

Thanks in advance,
John

Its says :
Uploading [Copie de IMG_20140829_123842_64.jpg] to set [F:\test\test]
But in reality its not uploading anything

I discovered this when trying to copy the export from linux to mac where the default filesystem is not case sensitive, only case preserving.

My scenario is attempting to use flickrsmartsync to export all photos from my spouse's flickr account.
