oEmbed for Picasa

==============================================================================

Supports [oEmbed] output for both photos and videos uploaded to [Picasa].

 

 [oEmbed]: http://oembed.com

 [Picasa]: http://picasaweb.google.com

Supported URLs

==============================================================================

Support for Picasa URLs;

 * http(s)://picasaweb.google.com/{userid}/{albumname}

     Outputs "rich" element which contains the Picasa album.

 * http(s)://picasaweb.google.com/{userid}/{albumname}#{photoid}

     Outputs "photo" or "video" element which contains the Photo/Video.

 * http(s)://picasaweb.google.com/.*/{userid}/albumid/{albumid}/photoid/{photoid}

     Outputs "photo" or "video" element which contains the Photo/Video.

Don't forget to escape the *hash* in the URL! Otherwise it will never get to

the oEmbed server and you'll get album mode.

Support for the following Google+ URLs (which use Picasa in the background);

 * https://plus.google.com/photos/{userid}/albums/{albumid}/{photoid}

     Outputs "photo" or "video" element which contains the Photo/Video.

 * https://plus.google.com/photos/{userid}/albums/{albumid}

     Outputs "rich" element which contains the Picasa album.

Picasa Video Support

==============================================================================

Picasa Video support is a little tricky because the URLs that the Picasa feed

gives back have authentication tokens which expire after a short period.

To work around this the oEmbed server provides a page which uses javascript to

re-fetch the authentication tokens when the page is display. This means the

server will return an iframe element for video elements.
