[ The previous thread is here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=39154.0 ]

We've added a way to share your pictures and videos on an online web page. It's called Pix01.com.

To use it, you'll need Media Center 12.0.185 or above.

Here's how to start:
1. Select a few images and right click on them.

2. Choose "Share to Web"

3. If it's your first time, you'll need to enter a real e-mail address and a password.

4. Provide a Title and Description ("Summer 1997" and "Our trip to Montana", for example) and mark the gallery public if you want anyone else to see it.

After a few minutes, you'll receive an e-mail (from Pixie) with a link to your new gallery and any previous galleries.

Visit Pix01.com to see other galleries:
At Pix01.com, there is a simple search for now. You can search for "Montana", for example, to see the public gallery above.

You can also maintain your own galleries there by choosing "Sign in". You can make a gallery public or private and you can delete any galleries you don't want to keep.

choosing "Sign in" produces a security alert:

bob · « **Reply #2 on:** March 08, 2007, 04:18:27 pm »

Yeah, it needs a different cert. I just reused one of my other ones because it's still under development.

benn600 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 08, 2007, 04:42:12 pm »

I know Pix01 is an original name but I'd like an easier to "tell someone" name. It's like Flickr...if the person doesn't know about it, you have to spell it out.

It's Pix01.com
That's p i X zero one dot com.

JimH · « **Reply #4 on:** March 08, 2007, 04:48:46 pm »

All the easy names are taken, Ben.

Pics01.com also works.

Send your friend an e-mail.

benn600 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 08, 2007, 05:16:14 pm »

Well, that really helps knowing that Pics01 works, too.

GHammer · « **Reply #6 on:** March 10, 2007, 05:42:52 am »

A way to link galleries is needed. You know, to create a photo album.

Showing the description above or below the images is needed too. Not everyone holds the cursor still to see if there is a tooltip. Even if they do, it is smaller and hard to read.

Otherwise, all works very well. I was especially impressed with the amount of time it takes to generate and upload.

Agreed.

modelmaker · « **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2007, 05:39:49 pm »

Did I miss something, how do you browse the public galleries or do you have to use the search and know what you're looking for?

JimH · « **Reply #9 on:** March 10, 2007, 06:21:52 pm »

Right now, there's no way to browse other people's galleries without searching. But you can search for the letter "e", for example.

This will improve in the next week or two.

JimH · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2007, 06:06:48 pm »

For anyone wondering what this is, here's a sample gallery on Pix01.com:

http://pix01.com/gallery/8D12431D-7EA0-495D-9EA2-775091458CB9/Bahamas_--_Green_Turtle_Cay/

You can make a gallery by typing a description and clicking 2 or 3 times. It's pretty easy.

Hi,

is there an Option to create a new account for PIX01? I would like to choose a different mailadress. The reason is, that I don't receive the mails with the link to my Gallarys.

Thanks!

DarkPenguin · « **Reply #12 on:** March 13, 2007, 09:58:29 am »

If you specify a new email/password at the login prompt you should have a new account. If you had selected the "remember password" option for the login page you'll need to click the "options" link in the action window and select "Clear remember password flag". (Suggestions for better wording are welcome.)

What account should we be deleting?

tombert · « **Reply #13 on:** March 13, 2007, 12:57:24 pm »

What account is used for this site? The same as for the MC interact forum? I cannot create an account, I cannot login and the upload fails as well

cause I'am reading a lot of this new feature and I thought it works already??

DarkPenguin · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2007, 01:32:23 pm »

First time you use it you enter your valid email and whatever password you choose and an account will be created automatically.

How is it failing?

tombert · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2007, 01:51:08 pm »

E.g. I'am selecting one image only, clicking on (via context menu) "Share to Web" - the "Share on Web" action window pops up with "Drop files here" - I enable the option "Clear Remember Password Flag" - I click on Create - it asks for password and then I get "Unable to upload gallery." - I click on Cancel and get "Submit Failure." ... nothing more.

Then I tried directly over pix10.com:
I clicked on "Sign In" - entered my mail and a password and I get "Login incorrect - try again"

As Info: I'am using a proxy ... do I need a direct internet connection?

DarkPenguin · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2007, 01:55:14 pm »

Could you send me your email address? tom AT jriver.com

Lexi · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2007, 02:31:38 pm »

@ DarkPenguin
thanks for your Hint. Now I'm able to change my Mailadress, but my mainproblem still exists:
I tryed three different Mailadresses, but never got a Mail with the link to my Gallery.
I created accounts via gmx.de, web.de, msn.com - nothing works for me, no spamfilter installed. Wheres the failrue?

thx

Lexi

DarkPenguin · « **Reply #18 on:** March 13, 2007, 02:33:51 pm »

Go to pix01.com and sign in to see if you have any galleries. Do you know what time it was that this last failed? (Also, try a 1 image gallery.)

Lexi · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2007, 03:24:49 am »

All the Gallyerys it created in MC, hab also been created on PIX01.com.

The last try was yesterdy at maybe 5:28 PM MET (Paris, Berlin). Don't know wich time it was in forumclocks time

Noman · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:37:50 am »

When I first created a gallery I just clicked OK with my mail and password filled in by default. I don't know what password was used so I can't delete/change my anything and I can't create a new gallery with the same mail on another client.

Great service. A suggestion. If you make a gallery public it would be nice to have a counter to see how many visitors you had and maybe the possibility to leave a comment for the visitor?

DarkPenguin · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2007, 10:10:00 am »

On the login dialog you can click the "Forgot Password" button and have your password emailed back to you.

Noman · « **Reply #22 on:** March 16, 2007, 03:08:52 pm »

After i cleared the password flag
Found it. Thanks

Somehow I'm not getting the email from the system either. I provided a Hotmail address originally, plus pressed "Forgot Password". Both time, the system said that I would send me an email. Nothing has come in in the last hour... I've received and sent other email with success during this period.

Ummm, Jim You Need A Hair Cut.

I Should (I Hope) Have Some Good Pictures To Share Soon Of The North Carolina Light Houses Me And Sue Are Going To Take A Few Days off For Our 31st Anniversary. Maybe If They Have Anything To Buy, I Will Pick It Up For The JRiver Gang (Sounds Like A West Side Story Gang Name).

Hotmail's junk filters may be automatically diverting emails from Pixie. Pls check if you haven't received emails after creating galleries. We'll see what we can do to tackle this.

I checked right away and then later... No mail from Pixie in the Junk folder....

JimH · « **Reply #29 on:** March 21, 2007, 01:48:42 pm »

Can you report this to hotmail?

mlefebvre · « **Reply #30 on:** March 21, 2007, 02:05:01 pm »

I can try.

What is the sending email address used by the server?

Michel.

JimH · « **Reply #31 on:** March 21, 2007, 02:14:25 pm »

Here's a header and the first few lines of the body (I've altered the e-mail addresses and I'll remove this when you have it):

mlefebvre · « **Reply #32 on:** March 21, 2007, 03:23:57 pm »

I'll see what I can do with Hotmail.

JimH · « **Reply #33 on:** March 21, 2007, 06:26:43 pm »

We're changing the site a little:

The home page is here:
http://www.pix01.com/

If you have an account you can sign in. If not, MC12 will ask you to register the first time you try to upload.

We could use some help on design. What you see isn't final.

We expect to add recent albums and popular albums on the home page like this:
Popular:
[picture][title][description]
[picture][title][description]
Recent:
[picture][title][description]
[picture][title][description]

In addition to a home page, it needs a better page for search results, something like google's.

[Search at top]
Results
[Search at bottom]

And a page that summarizes your albums (aka galleries):
[picture][title][description]
[picture][title][description]
[picture][title][description]
[picture][title][description]
(sorted alphabetically or by date)

There will be a similar page for you to manage your albums (delete, make public or private) when you sign in.

We're trying to keep it simple, but is there anything missing?

JimH · « **Reply #34 on:** March 23, 2007, 07:22:19 am »

Any ideas?

Alweb · « **Reply #35 on:** March 23, 2007, 08:31:03 am »

I can't sign up.
Pix01.com returns this message when I click the "sign up" link:
" The requested URL /signup was not found on this server."

bob · « **Reply #36 on:** March 23, 2007, 09:51:25 am »

Sign-up is automatic through MC. The webpage is under development and the sign-up will probably link to an instruction page.

Alweb · « **Reply #37 on:** March 23, 2007, 10:17:11 am »

Ok...

It's working perfectly.
I suggest to create an option on "Right Click" function in Explorer, if it's possible.
Thanks for help!

JimH · « **Reply #38 on:** March 24, 2007, 12:16:01 pm »

If anyone has posted pictures, you can make them public (or not) by logging in at www.pix01.com.

There are some great albums there. It would be nice to have a quick description and a link here.

Jaguu · « **Reply #39 on:** March 24, 2007, 12:55:33 pm »

I don't see any albums there!
I had once private album and deleted it. Do I need to submit an album to public to see all the others?

JimH · « **Reply #40 on:** March 24, 2007, 02:00:50 pm »

This will change next week, but right now you need to search and they'll be listed. Try searching for "e", for example.

Sign in to see your own. Really old ones may not be available. We switched servers.

Jaguu · « **Reply #41 on:** March 24, 2007, 02:31:01 pm »

It would be nice to see the nicknames of the publisher!

About J River pics:
I really would like to work for J River. Except for the boss all the workers never display any sign of stress. They always look always soooo relaxed, especially Matt

Must be a great place over there!

Bob,

I got your email and replied to it on the 26th. But Hotmail just sent me an email to say that it failed to deliver it to you.

Details are in a PM to you.

Regards.

Michel.

Link · « **Reply #43 on:** March 28, 2007, 07:07:10 pm »

So I just tried this for the first time - very easy.... Nice!

A few questions:

1) Is there a limit to the size of the gallery we can upload?
2) Is there any way to add captions to pictures?
