flickerfavsaver.sh

Description

Bash Script. Downloads Flickr!-Favorites from your Flickr!-Favorites RSS Feed. In combination with a slide-show screensaver (e.g. GLSlideshow in xscreensaver) you get your personal Flickr! favorites slide-show screensaver.

Requirements

xsltproc, aria2c and the file parse_enclosure.xsl (included) which must be located in the same directory as the script. parse_enlcosure.xsl was originally obtained from http://lincgeek.org/bashpodder/

Install & Usage

chmod u+x flickerfavsaver.sh + copy to directory, where you want the images to be downloaded (into the subfolder Images). For maximum fun - add a flickrfavsaver.sh entry to your crontab.

The only variable which needs to be set in the script is favs_rss, which needs to be set to the location of your Flickr!-favorites RSS-Feed. See Flickr!-Docs: https://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/docs/photos_faves/

Important: Make sure to set the query string format to rss_200_enc. See the script for an example!
