Flickr Contact Probs

Not having any joy trying to add my own Flickr Contact info into Apple TV - can anyone confirm exactly which "details" you are meant to enter - Screen Name, Profile Name etc?

You add the screen name of the contact you wish to add.

Strange - one of my contacts works, the rest, including myself get "contact cannot be found".

I'm having the same problem. I put in my flickr screen name and it can't find me.

No problems here. Make sure you use proper capitalization.

Can't find me either. I'm pretty sure "contact name" is your flickr screen name, so I'm entering the right thing.

Solved

You might need to check your Flickr account settings and make sure you are allowing the appropriate permissions for others, and maybe yourself, to view your own account.

Thank you jcator, I thought I'd checked that - but I hadn't spotted a check box for "Hide my Profile from Searches" under "Profile Privacy".

Un-Checking that box has solved the problem.

Go to "Your Account", then edit your "Profile Privacy".

"Hide my profile from searches?" is the first checkbox after "Current City".

I can find my account on atv, but no pictures are available. Where are albums on flickr web site so I can put my photos there to be viewed on atv.

You have to make your flickr albums "public" (something I'm not willing to do). If you use the flickr privacy to restrict viewing to "friends / family" they will not be viewable on ATV. This is a major flaw a far as I'm concerned. Apparently this has to do with ATV not logging into flickr, but rather just using a public search for an account with public photos.

This is a half-baked implementation I would have expected of Microsoft, not Apple.
