Major overhaul of the way photoframe deals with retrieve photos.

  • Support for the new Google Photos API (aka Photos Library API)
  • Uses a service API to allow custom photo providers
  • Improved background handling, you can choose between blur, zoom or both
  • Better HTML UX for settings
  • Allows multiple instances of a photo provider with different credentials (yours and your spouse for example)
  • Better error messages
  • Travis support for generating RPi images
  • Migration support for previous installation to the new service structure

As always, if you have installed any version of photoframe, it will update every 24hrs and you won't need to reinstall the frame.

Note 1
You will need enable the Photos Library API for your credentials on the Google Developer Console or you cannot use the new Google Photos.

Note 2
Picasa Web provider (the one used in the older Photo Frame releases) is being deprecated starting January 1st, 2019. This is a decision that Google has made and not something I control. The new Google Photos API does not support the same selection method, so for now you can only choose albums. BUT! You can create albums which dynamically add new photos whenever a picture of a specific person is added to you library.
