Shashin Error: Failed to retrieve album feed

Open firedev opened this issue 14 years ago • 3 comments

JSON looks ok, but Shashin now produces this error:

Shashin Error: Failed to retrieve album feed at http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/bytheair/albumid/5324203861618156929?alt=json

Please let me know the following - when this error happened, were you:

  1. synchronizing an album added to Shashin 3 previously, or adding it for the first time?
  2. Were you adding all the albums for a user account, or adding/syncing just one album?
  3. Does this happen every time you try to sync the album, or did it just happen once?

It hapenned when I was adding all albums for the user. Despite showing the error it added all albums anyway. So after I refreshed the page I saw them all.

Tried to recreate this now but there was no error anymore - looks like some random glitch.

Thanks for the additional information. I have run into this a couple times myself - it can happen when adding a lot of albums at once (I have 40 albums). I will keep this issue open. The solution I'd like to try is using AJAX to add albums in batches of 5 at a time, instead of all at once. My guess is that it's a networking/connectivity issue, when trying to process a lot of albums at once.
